FAQ

Some questions, some answers.

Why should I use Grappelli?

If you are pleased with how the original admin interface looks, you probably shouldn’t. Grappelli is mainly about a consistent, grid-based style.

I need help!

see Troubleshooting.

Which Browser do I need with Grappelli?

We are testing with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. IE9 and Opera should work fine as well.

Can I use another editor than TinyMCE?

Of course (better use markdown anyway).

Why don’t you use Twitter Bootstrap?

For now, custom Compass-based stylesheets gives us much more options. But we do understand the need to easily customize the admin interface and we’re discussing this issue on a regular basis.

Do you guys cooperate with the Django–Devs?

Occasionally, we have been discussing features and implementations in the past.

How can I contribute?

Help is very much appreciated.

• Fork django-grappelli and submit feedback/patches.
• Work on Django Tickets related to contrib.admin.
• Take a look at Django Issues.

What is your goal with Grappelli?

Our goal is that Grappelli will be redundant eventually (though we doubt that will happen).
