If you followed the quickstart step by step it should work.
Please give more information about your settings, urls, the version of
django you are using, etc.

Note: django-admin-tools has its own mailing list so you should post
there :
http://groups.google.com/group/django-admin-tools/

and then if i do "" ls -ln media """ inside my root project directory,

admin_tools -> /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/admin_tools/media/admin_tools

urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import databrowse


# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^---/', include('---.foo.urls')),

# Uncomment the admin/doc line below and add 'django.contrib.admindocs'
# to INSTALLED_APPS to enable admin documentation:
# (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'^admin_tools/', include('admin_tools.urls')),
(r'^data/(.*)', databrowse.site.root),

)

My guess is documentation is wrong.I think admin_tools media folder
should be inside django.contrib.admin.

Hi,

As I said in my previous mail, you should bring this to the django-
admin-tools mailing list:
http://groups.google.com/group/django-admin-tools/

> My guess is documentation is wrong.I think admin_tools media folder
> should be inside django.contrib.admin.

No, the documentation is ok, please re-read this section carefully:
http://packages.python.org/django-admin-tools/0.2.0/configuration.html#setting-up-the-django-admin-tools-media-files

What you need is to symlink or copy the "admin_tools" media directory
in your MEDIA_ROOT and setup your MEDIA_URL accordingly.

Regards,

Hi, I had a somewhat similar question. I've followed the setup and
when the dashboard, etc, are uncommented in installedapps, i merely
get a stripped down version of the admin page without the default
styling. Mine is a local development server. The command prompt is
posting this:

[TIMESTAMP] "GET /site_media/admin_tools/css/dashboard.css/ HTTP1.1"
404 2148
[TIMESTAMP] "GET /site_media/admin_tools/css/theming.css/ HTTP1.1" 404
2142
[TIMESTAMP] "GET /site_media/admin_tools/js/utils.js/ HTTP1.1" 404
2130

I guess this means it's 404'ing on the files needed to style the admin
page.
These are some of the settings:
settings.py:
...
MEDIA_ROOT = '/site_media/'
...
ADMIN_TOOLS_MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/'
...
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
# default template context processors
'django.core.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',

# django 1.2 only
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',

# required by django-admin-tools
'django.core.context_processors.request',
)

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'admin_tools.theming',
#'admin_tools.menu',
'admin_tools.dashboard',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.admindocs',
'gnarmis.blog',
)

...

urls.py:
...
url(r'^admin_tools/', include('admin_tools.urls')),
...
(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/site_media/'}),
...


Any ideas, or links/resources where I can learn more about how
media_root, media_url etc in detail?

Thanks,

Thanks for that link up there, David, solved my (similar, but not
really similar) problem.
Although this has me concerned about deployment issues...
