Bug on Sidebar when "Customizing the AdminSite class"

Less coffee, more sleep. And fresh air. Jogging? Nuts are good to for brain work.
BTW can You reformat css for "Recent action"? For now "Recent actions" take plenty of admin area and leaving big empty spaces. CSS "display: inline" or "inline-block"?
Action are marked by color, it is neccessary place one kind on left, another kind on right centralized column?

I don't know if anyone cares about this issue and still I would like to post a solution which is not perfect because it needs to modify the module code.

The issue is due to the file bootstrap_admin_template_tags.py in templatetages folder only import the default site from django.contrib.admin, if there is any custom AdminSite is created it cannot use the new class as reference. As a result any new model register to the new custom AdminSite cannot be referenced on the sidebar.

To tackle the issue the custom AdminSite needs to be import to the bootstrap_admin_template_tags.py manually.
For example, if the custom AdminSite is created in admin.py in your app.

class MyAdminSite(AdminSite):
    site_header = 'New Header'
    site_title = 'New Title'
    index_title = 'Admin Panel'

admin_site = MyAdminSite(name='myadmin')
admin_site.register(YourModel)

Then in bootstrap_admin_template_tags.py add the following two lines after the other modules import

from media.admin import admin_site
site = admin_site

In this way the site in the bootsrtap_admin_template_tags.py file is overrided by the custom AdminSite.
