Apologies, I don't clearly remember, but I just checked my settings.py,
and batchadmin is last in the list of installed app's, and now it works.

 Yes, thank you, that's it.
 It worked nicely for the change_form.html example given in that
 chapter. However, for the change_list.html it still doesn't work.
 Seems to me I've hit a django bug. Anyone else?

It turns out I am having the same issue. I just added on batchadmin
and I can't seem to override templates across the entire project (I
wanted to add some JQuery to filters.html). How did you solve your

As it turns out, it was a conflict with an addon, the batchadmin addon,
that caused the confusion. Django truly works as advertised. My setup
of batchadmin however, needs more tweaking.

I just tried this, and it works for me for change_list.html. So I'm not sure
what is going on in your case.  For me it just works, overriding change_list
on a per-model basis using a file:

You are supposed to put the admin template you want to override in
your own template directory definition in settings.py

So, if you defined it as /home/stava//template/admin/change_list.html

Overriding admin templates

2008-11-01 Thread Lars Stavholm 

I'd like to override part of an admin change_list template.

Reading the documentation, my understanding is that I can place
a template in a certain place in the templates directory hierarchy,
and django will look for it and use it, i.e.:

templates/admin/build/job/change_list.html

...where "build" is my application and "job" is my model class.

The change_list.html file only contains the part I want to override,
i.e. the extrahead block. It contains:

{% extends "admin/change_list.html" %}
{% block extrahead %}
   
{% endblock %}

However, this does not work for me, so I'm expecting it to be some
mistake on my part, I just can't figure out what the mistake is.

Now, if I put the file in ./templates/admin/build/change_list.html
it still wont work. On the other hand, this would be overriding all
"build" application change lists, which is not what I was looking for.

Only way I've found is to copy the change_list.html from the django
installation in contrib/admin/templates/admin, and then modify it to
my needs, using "if" statements to figure out which application model
class is being rendered, and the put the change_list.html in my app's
templates/admin directory, which doesn't feel right.

Any input appreciated

Re: Overriding Admin templates on a per-app and per-model basis

2007-09-11 Thread AndyB 

I just tried this against trunk and got the same results.

>From a quick perusal of the admin code I can't see any special code
for template loading. Where is this functionality supposed to reside?

Overriding Admin templates on a per-app and per-model basis

2007-09-10 Thread AndyB 

I was rather pleased to read that the above was possible according to
the Django book: http://www.djangobook.com/en/beta/chapter18/ (scroll
down to the section called 'Customizing admin templates')

I've already been overriding the admin templates globally by putting
custom templates in a folder named:
projectname\appname\templates\admin

This works fine.

Apparently you can have app and model specific subdirectories thus:

projectname\appname\templates\admin\appname
and
projectname\appname\templates\admin\appname\modelname

I'm using newforms-admin but will put together a simple test case
against the trunk and post the results here if no-one else can confirm
whether it's a problem in newforms-admin (or in my lousy code ;-)

I'm using 'app_directories' as my template loader. I was previously
using 'filesystem' as I couldn't get it to work any other way but
realised that the order of apps in INSTALLED_APPS was critical when
using 'django.template.loaders.app_directories'. Either way it doesn't
work

In summary my admin override templates kick in fine when I put my
templates in:
template_dir/admin/
but not when I put them in:
template_dir/admin/appname
or
template_dir/admin/appname/modelname
as suggested in the Django book as a way of getting app and model
specific admin customisation.

thanks in advance,

Andy Baker
