css includes in class Admin like js = ()

[Bas van Oostveen]

Hi Guys,

In semi-response to wonderfull things like Upcoming changes to the Django admin :)
How about having something similar as the js tuple for css styles ?

A usecase could be the admin fields for a model, there u can declare something like:

fields = (
            (None, {
                'fields': ('name',),
            }),
            ("Slot 1", {
                'description': 'Slot 1 Content',
                'classes': 'wide extrapretty imgfoo',
                'fields': ('foo','bar',),
            }),
            ("Slot 2", {
                'description': 'Slot 2 Content',
                'classes': 'wide extrapretty imgbacon',
                'fields': ('bacon','spam','eggs',),
            }),
)

As with js u can add some javascript to fields of your choosing, an added option
css would let u add a file with the 2 extra .imgfoo {} and .imgbacon {} css classes.

But maybe also other things like adding a border or different bg color to that one
special field in your model :-)

respect and regards,
Bas

I think one of the goals of the admin reworking is that it'll be easy
for people to write subclasses of the base model admin and admin site
which implement whatever they want; this will cut down significantly
on the need for explicit support in the base classes.
