快速给django admin后台加入bootstrap

What you'll get

• a responsive interface (because Bootstrap is)

• an heavy rewrite of the original django-admin templates, but with compatibility in mind.

• collapsable elements

• goodies like application name 'translations' without using the {% trans %} tag (to be documented)

• you can choose between Bootstrap 2 and Bootstrap 3

Requirements

Django >= 1.4.x

Source code

On Github of course: https://github.com/riccardo-forina/django-admin-bootstrapped

Installation

• pip install django-admin-bootstrapped (virtualenv highly suggested)

• add django_admin_bootstrapped into the INSTALLED_APPS list beforedjango.contrib.admin

• have fun!

Your INSTALLED_APPS should look like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django_admin_bootstrapped',
    'django.contrib.admin',

    ...
)

Switch to Bootstrap3

Available from version 1.6.2: Do the previous steps, then add'django_admin_bootstrapped.bootstrap3' into the INSTALLED_APPS list before'django_admin_bootstrapped'.

Your INSTALLED_APPS should look like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django_admin_bootstrapped.bootstrap3',
    'django_admin_bootstrapped',
    'django.contrib.admin',

    ...
)

Goodies

Translate/change an application name with a template

With the default admin you can't change the application name, but django-admin-bootstrapped let you do it in a really easy way. Just create a file named admin_app_name.html into the application's template folder. Eg: myapp/templates/admin_app_name.html orproject/templates/myapp/admin_app_name.html.

Add custom html to the change form of any model with a template

You can inject custom html on top of any change form creating a template namedadmin_model_MODELNAME_change_form.html into the application's template folder. Eg:myapp/templates/admin_model_mymodelname_change_form.html orproject/templates/myapp/admin_model_mymodelname_change_form.html.

Inline sortable

You can add drag&drop sorting capability to any inline with a couple of changes to your code.

First, add a position field in your model (and sort your model accordingly), for example:

class TestSortable(models.Model):
    that = models.ForeignKey(TestMe)
    position = models.PositiveSmallIntegerField("Position")
    test_char = models.CharField(max_length=5)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ('position', )

Then in your admin.py create a class to handle the inline using thedjango_admin_bootstrapped.admin.models.SortableInline mixin, like this:

from django_admin_bootstrapped.admin.models import SortableInline
from models import TestSortable

class TestSortable(admin.StackedInline, SortableInline):
    model = TestSortable
    extra = 0

You can now use the inline as usual. The result will look like this:

XHTML Compatible

Compatible with both html and xhtml. To enable xhtml for your django app add the following to your settings.py: DEFAULT_CONTENT_TYPE = 'application/xhtml+xml'

Generic lookups in admin

All that needs to be done is change the admin widget with either formfield_overrides like this:

from django_admin_bootstrapped.widgets import GenericContentTypeSelect

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.ForeignKey: {'widget': GenericContentTypeSelect},
    }

Or if you want to be more specific:

from django_admin_bootstrapped.widgets import GenericContentTypeSelect

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs):
        if db_field.name == 'content_type':
            kwargs['widget'] = GenericContentTypeSelect
        return super(SomeModelAdmin, self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs)

If you decide on using formfield_overrides you should be aware of its limitations with relation fields.
