OK I figured it out after reading the source code for ModelView.
First, make sure that endpoints are named (it's possible to do it without named endpoints, but this makes the code much clearer):
from flask.ext.admin.contrib.sqla import ModelView
from models import db, User, Role
admin = Admin(app, name="Boost Admin")
admin.add_view(ModelView(User,db.session,category="model", endpoint="model_view_user"))
admin.add_view(ModelView(Role,db.session,category="model", endpoint="model_view_role"))
...now in the template, you can reference the basic model view as follows:
URL for User model default view is: {{model_view_user.index_view}}
URL for Role model default view is: {{model_view_role.index_view}}
The index_view
function is defined here, and implements the default view for a flask admin ModelView.
