Question

I’m using django-admin-tools 0.4.
Following the docs here so that I can get a 3 column layout.

I have managed to get the page to space correctly for 3 columns but the Modules can’t move over to the 3rd column.

I can only drag from the left column to the middle but not right.

How can I get the modules to move between the 3 columns?

My dashboard.py can be viewed here.
I’ve attached a screenshot to show what result I have.

Answer 1

The main issue was that admin_tools_dashboard_preferences needs to be truncated(almost for every change being made to the dashboard.)

Also the first snippet of code on the documentation page didn’t even work for me. I took snippets from other parts of the docs and they seemed to work no problems.
In the end my example dashboard looks something like this.
Remember to truncate your preferences.

class MyDashboard(Dashboard):

    columns = 3

    def __init__(self, **kwargs):
        Dashboard.__init__(self, **kwargs)

        # will only list the django.contrib.auth models
        self.children += [
            modules.ModelList('Authentication', ['django.contrib.auth.*',])
        ]

        self.children.append(modules.Group(
            title="My group",
            display="tabs",
            children=[
                modules.AppList(
                    title='Administration',
                    models=('django.contrib.*',)
                ),
                modules.AppList(
                    title='Applications',
                    exclude=('django.contrib.*',)
                )
            ]
        ))
        self.children.append(modules.LinkList(
            layout='inline',
            children=(
                {
                    'title': 'Python website',
                    'url': 'http://www.python.org',
                    'external': True,
                    'description': 'Python programming language rocks !',
                },
                ['Django website', 'http://www.djangoproject.com', True],
                ['Some internal link', '/some/internal/link/'],
            )
        ))
