Quick start guide¶
For using Grappelli 3.0.6, Django 4.0 needs to be installed and an Admin Site has to be activated.
Installation¶
$ pip install django-grappelli
Go to https://github.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli if you need to download a package or clone/fork the repository.
Setup¶
Open settings.py
and add grappelli
to your INSTALLED_APPS
(before django.contrib.admin
):
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'grappelli',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
Add URL-patterns. The grappelli URLs are needed for related–lookups and autocompletes. Your admin interface is available with the URL you defined for admin.site
:
from django.conf.urls import include
urlpatterns = [
path('grappelli/', include('grappelli.urls')), # grappelli URLS
path('admin/', admin.site.urls), # admin site
]
Add the request context processor (needed for the Dashboard and the Switch User feature):
TEMPLATES = [
{
...
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
...
'django.template.context_processors.request',
...
],
},
},
]
Collect the media files:
$ python manage.py collectstatic
Testing¶
Start the devserver and login to your admin site:
$ python manage.py runserver <IP-address>:8000
Check if everything looks/works as expected. If you’re having problems, see Troubleshooting.
