I a custom views is missed a value "request.current_app", hence not displaying a menu in the left sidebar

[bevokactp]

If this is a bug please specify versions you're using first.

Django version: Django==1.9.5 Django Suit version: django-suit==0.2.18 Python version: Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29)

Issue: I a custom views is missed a value "request.current_app", hence not displaying a menu in the left sidebar

For it, I created next decorator:

def add_current_app_to_request_in_admin_view(view):
    @functools.wraps(view)
    def wrapped_view(modelAdmin, request, **kwargs):

        # only for admin theme Django-Suit
        # it is give feature display menu in left sidebar
        request.current_app = 'admin'

        response = view(modelAdmin, request, **kwargs)
        return response
    return wrapped_view

Usage (from my current project):

class PollAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    '''
    Admin View for Poll
    '''

    def get_urls(self):
        urls = super(PollAdmin, self).get_urls()
        # add urls for custom views

    @add_current_app_to_request_in_admin_view
    def view_statistics(self, request):
        """Admin view for display statistics about polls, choices, votes."""

For me it is working.

But the problem still has in my project

My custom view without changes:

def view_make_report(self, request):
    """View for ability of creating an Pdf reports in the admin."""

    # if request`s method is GET,
    # then return simple view for customization creating of Pdf report
    if request.method == 'GET':
        context = dict(
            self.admin_site.each_context(request),
            title=_('Make a report about polls'),
            current_app=apps.get_app_config(Poll._meta.app_label),
            django_admin_media=self.media,
        )
        return TemplateResponse(request, "polls/admin/report.html", context)

    # if request`s method is POST,
    # then Pdf report as file
    elif request.method == 'POST':

        # get type output of report: pdf or excel
        output_report = request.POST.get('output_report', None)

        # get subjects of report
        subjects = [
            request.POST.get('polls', None),
            request.POST.get('choices', None),
            request.POST.get('votes', None),
            request.POST.get('voters', None),
            request.POST.get('results', None),
        ]

        subjects = [subject for subject in subjects if subject]
        if not subjects:
            return HttpResponseBadRequest('Not specified any theme for report.')

        # generate pdf-report by subject
        if output_report == 'report_pdf':
            report = PollPDFReport(request, subjects)

        # generate excel-report
        elif output_report == 'report_excel':
            report = ExcelReport(request, subjects)
