Re: Customizing the Django Admin Interface

The text  I am referring to is the one that appears as a title on all the change list pages; I cannot, however, find it in the change_list template.  But if you have not needed to change that, then you would not be able to help.

(PS I was not asking to see the result of your changes, but where in the source code you had made them...)

Derek,

You can see the custom changes I made here:

http://www.madtrak.com/admin 

That is the extent of what I have done in relation to the default. Nothing more then some colors in the CSS and text color. Additionally I changed the actual wording for the <title></title> to  <title>Log in | MadTrak Django Admin</title> other then that text change and the colors I'm not sure what you are asking?

What is:

I cannot seem to find the source text, for example, for "Select ... to change"

and would appreciate seeing/knowing how you did it.

referring to?

There are examples on various blogs, but Django has changed how it is works since they were written.

Thanks

Hello,

I was able to locate the Django files for the admin under contrib in the source. I was curious if I could get some tips about customizing the interface.

One website I read said I shouldn't change any of the Django source but if I want to set up a slightly different login page for example, to put the admin files in my local directories that I'm working with.

The real question is that I was able to edit some template files to change some of the wording displayed but when I tried to edit the CSS files to get a different design I did not see any changes when I restarted my server. Is there some sort of collectstatic command that needs to be run? Any input on how to propagate these CSS files through would be great.

Thanks,

JJ Zolper
