How to use it

from admin_extra_urls.api import url, button, link, href

class MyModelModelAdmin(extras.ExtraUrlMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):

    @link(label='Search On Google', 'http://www.google.com?q={target}') # /admin/myapp/mymodel/update_all/
    def search_on_google(self, button):
        # this is called by the template engine just before rendering the button
        # `context` is the Context instance in the template
        if 'original' in button.context:
            obj = button.context['original']
            return {'target': obj.name}
        else:
            button.visible = False

    @link()
    def search_on_bing(self, button):
        return 'http://www.bing.com?q=target'


    @button() # /admin/myapp/mymodel/update_all/
    def consolidate(self, request):
        ...
        ...

    @button() # /admin/myapp/mymodel/update/10/
    def update(self, request, pk):
        # if we use `pk` in the args, the button will be in change_form
        obj = self.get_object(request, pk)
        ...

    @button(urls=[r'^aaa/(?P<pk>.*)/(?P<state>.*)/$',
                  r'^bbb/(?P<pk>.*)/$'])
    def revert(self, request, pk, state=None):
        obj = self.get_object(request, pk)
        ...


    @button(label='Truncate', permission=lambda request, obj: request.user.is_superuser)
    def truncate(self, request):

        if request.method == 'POST':
            self.model.objects._truncate()
        else:
            return extras._confirm_action(self, request, self.truncate,
                                   'Continuing will erase the entire content of the table.',
                                   'Successfully executed', )

If the return value from a button decorated method is a HttpResponse, that will be used. Otherwise if the method contains the pk argument user will be redirected to the 'update' view, otherwise and the browser will be redirected to the admin's list view
