admin-generator

I'm using Symfony 1.4 and Doctrine.

My application's backend was built using Symfony's admin generator. It works great when I want to display basic stuff.

But tehre's not a lot of documentation on how to enhance it and add new pages.

Let's take an example: I want to list published items on one page and to-be-published items on another one. I've used several ways to that in my application but can't figure out what the best way is:

playing with filters and then modify templates depending on where you are?
creating another module calling a different table_method?
some other technique I don't know about?

What's the best practice here? How do you guys usually do to customize your admin?
