I have 2 applications in the django project. I want to add different widgets

  • 0

I have 2 applications in the django project. I want to add different widgets in the change_list.html for the 2 different applications. In settings.py, after adding the change_list.html in the admin directory of the templates in both the applications respectively as,
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
“/home/path/project/application1/templates”,
“/home/path/project/application2/templates”,
)

I notice that the change_list.html template considered is from the application1. Only if I comment it, the template from application2 is considered. How to go about? I want both of them to be considered for the 2 different applications. Please suggest.

    Read the section on overriding admin templates: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates (more specifically https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#templates-which-may-be-overridden-per-app-or-model)

    Place your change_list.html in admin/application1 in one of the folders parsed by TEMPLATE_DIRS or one of the template loaders and that template will be served only for application1.

    Your current code is always telling django to prioritize matches on the first path over the second.
