Optional themes
This package ships with optional themes as fixtures, they can be installed using the loaddata admin command. Optional themes are activated on installation.
Django theme (default):
Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_django.json
Bootstrap theme:
Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_bootstrap.json
Foundation theme:
Run python manage.py loaddata admin_interface_theme_foundation.json
U.S. Web Design Standards theme:

Add more themes
You can add a theme you've created through the admin to this repository by sending us a PR. Here are the steps to follow to add:
-
Export your exact theme as fixture using the
dumpdata
admin command:python manage.py dumpdata admin_interface.Theme --indent 4 -o admin_interface_theme_{{name}}.json --pks=N
-
Copy the generated json file into the fixtures folder (making sure its name starts with
admin_interface_theme_
to avoid clashes with fixtures that might be provided by other third party apps). -
Remove the
pk
from the fixture and make sure theactive
field is set totrue
(in this way a theme is automatically activated when installed). -
Edit the section above to document your theme.

FAQ
base-site.html
Custom I already have a custom
base_site.html
, how can I make it work?
You can use django-apptemplates, then add {% extends "admin_interface:admin/base_site.html" %}
to your base_site.html
Language Chooser not showing
I have enabled the Language Chooser, but it is not visible in the admin, what should I do?
You must configure multilanguage settings
and urls
correctly:
LANGUAGES = (
("en", _("English")),
("it", _("Italiano")),
("fr", _("Franรงais")),
# more than one language is expected here
)
LANGUAGE_CODE = "en"
USE_I18N = True
MIDDLEWARE = [
# ...
"django.middleware.locale.LocaleMiddleware",
# ...
]
from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
# ...
urlpatterns = [
path("i18n/", include("django.conf.urls.i18n")),
]
urlpatterns += i18n_patterns(path("admin/", admin.site.urls))
