Re: custom form with admin look and feel
@Ayaz: I tried what you suggested, but the alignment of fields etc goes off for me. Is it possible for you to post an example django template, maybe on dpaste.com. Also I don't quite understand where all the javascript in the change_form is coming from..

I have been required to modify the change_form templates in the admin for some of the models. I open the "add model item" page, view the source of the page, and copy the HTML to a note pad. I then hack it, and use it to make the custom change_form template. I only copy and hack the HTML within the "breadcrumb" and "body content" blocks. The blocks above those, I copy from the change_form.html template provided in django/contrib/ admin/templates/admin. The custom pages I have made look no different than the Django Admin ones. ;) -- Ayaz Ahmed Khan --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: custom form with admin look and feel
I tried this, but couldn't get the desired results. Specifically, I want to have the look and feel of the change_form (including add another, save buttons etc and how the fields are arranged on the page). I have noticed that the change_form has some specific css and javascript. Is this documented somewhere?

Re: custom form with admin look and feel
Thanks, I have tried that. But I guess my question really revolves around the design and css issues. I'm really bad at design aspects, and would like all my custom forms to have the look and feel of Django's automatic admin change_forms (I have gone through the admin css guide, but couldn't get it to work). I struggled with it hours on end, but couldn't achieve that look. If someone has already created custom forms with admin look and feel, maybe they could share their expertise here - share the bare minimum (design) code required in the templates.

custom form with admin look and feel
I'm using django svn trunk. I have created several custom forms that show up in the admin section of the website. However, these forms look nothing like the admin forms. I tried extending change_form.html template - unsuccessfully. Does anyone know what my template should contain to achieve admin look and feel.
