Admin Pages - want horizontal scroll ability

Hello, I am building a small app that just requires admin functionality, Thought I was about done, but my customer tried it on a huge 1024x768 monitor (have not seen one for a few years). Turns out the if the admin pages would slide horizontally as well as vertically, things would be fine. Works

Created Form - now code works to edit object but add gets NoneType' object is not callable

I have just recently started using forms. I was avoiding them because I thought they were not very DRY, but discovered I need them for added flexibility such as displaying field lengths for example. Anyway, I have created a Form for a Survey object that I use. If I go to my edit page for a

I am trying to use ForeignKey data returned from a page and view, and am having trouble. I am missing something fundamental I think. Say I have 2 models class TopModel(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) db_type = models.CharField(max_length=1,

Multiple saves without redirecting

I want to create a form for a large object that has numerous non- mandatory fields. I am still learning django, and am missing something easy I hope. All the examples and docs I see say to redirect after the form is posted and saved to the db (in my case). What I want is to leave the form up

Add column to generated ManyToMany table and access from admin

I am pretty new to Django, and am building a web generating app. I am hoping to get a lot of functionality out of the admin. So far that is working great. I do have 2 classes in my models that have a many to many relationship. The code is generated nicely and everything works correctly. The

Newbie Data Model Question

I have designed a small db model (on paper) and want to implement it in my models.py file. So far, this has been pretty straight forward, but I have a generic superclass and several subclasses, and I am unsure how to implement this. My DB has page objects (webpages) with a few common attributes,
