Using the admin navbar & bootstrap throughout my project

[Conrad Lawes]

Call me boring but I like the simple elegance of the django admin panel.
I was wondering is there a way use this layout thorough my project.
All the tutorials I have read so far shows how to build your own navbar using the various third-party bootstraps and css.
But none shows how use the built-in theme/css/navbar that is  already there by default.

TIA for your suggestions.

Hi,

You could use the admin backend as the frontend for your application. I have released an application that works that way.

However, if you just want to use the layout, you can look into the contrib.admin package and there you will find all the templates, css and js required for the admin application. To use it in your application you will need to do a lot of backwards engineering - but it should be possible,

Regards,

Andréas

Andreas,

You have described perfectly what I need:
To use the admin backend as my frontend.

Do you have any sample code you could share with me?

I also use the admin for the bulk of my project; if you create custom pages, you just need to inherit from the standard/default admin template(s) and overwrite/extend the relevant template blocks. I'd really recommend you figure out how to do this yourself rather than just copy & paste someone else's code, as that way you will get to understand something of how the framework is put together.  

If you want to see an example of someone making custom pages to fit into the admin, have a look at:

Hi,

I agree with Derek regarding this is something that you need to check out yourself. You will need to do some overriding and extending and it's hard to describe exactly how much you need to change and also where to do it. Unfortunately I can't share the code that I have, because I don't own the code.
