After some digging around, it looks like the newforms-admin branch does not allow widget declarations within the model class itself. However, adding a custom widget is quite easy.
In the branch, almost all of the admin app functionality has been moved out of the inner Admin class and into a separate class called ModelAdmin. If you want to customize the admin app's behavior, simply subclass ModelAdmin and override the default functionality. For example, look at this sample ModelAdmin subclass: ----- from django.contrib import admin [...] class ProfileOptions(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('display_name', 'headline','setup_date') filter_horizontal = ('techniques', 'products', 'setup') fields = (('Administrative Settings',{'fields': ('subscriber','active')}),('Contact Information',{'fields': ('phone_numbers','im_accounts','zip_code')}),('Photos',{'fields': ('primary_photo','secondary_photos','private_photos')}),) def formfield_for_dbfield(self, db_field, **kwargs): if db_field.name == 'zip_code': return ZipCodeField(**kwargs) else: return super(ProfileOptions,self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs) def queryset(self, request): return self.model.user_profiles.get_query_set() adminsite.register(Profile,ProfileOptions) ---- list_display and fields are used exactly as they were in inner Admin classes. filter_horizontal is simply a tuple of fields that will use the javascript multiple-select filter. The queryset() function allows you to specify which manager should be used to obtain the change list objects. Then there's formfield_for_dbfield(), a function that allows you to override the default form field types that are returned for your models' fields. In this example, the function returns a custom field class (ZipCodeField) for any model field named "zip_code". Alternatively, you could specify a custom widget like so: if db_field.name == 'zip_code': kwargs['widget'] = WIDGET return super(ProfileOptions,self).formfield_for_dbfield(db_field, **kwargs) Finally, don't forget to register your ModelAdmin subclass for the model.
