Adding Tinymce to Admin

[Ankush Thakur]

I wish to add TinyMCE editor to my Django-powered app. My Model is a typical blog model, with a TextField for the actual post contents. Now what I want is, every time I'm editing the contents (or adding a new blog), I should be able to write in a WordPress-style editor. 

I understand that I'd need to add some third-party app for TinyMCE and then set it as a widget, but my problem is that the admin templates do not reside in my project Git repository. They are in the virtualenv directory, and I'm not sure how I'll be able to integrate them into my project.

A little voice at the back of my head tells me that I won't need to alter Admin, but I'm not sure. Because I don't have any forms (I directly edit/create from the Admin), I don't think I can get away with only saying something like 'content = models.TextField(widget='tinymce')'?

Regards,

I'm pretty sure you can specify a widget to use in admin for each model and field.

Part 7 of the tutorial will show you how to alter the admin without changing the file in the virtualenv.
The documentation on ModelAdmin have an example of what you are trying to do :)

Ah, yes! I entirely forgot about admin.py, my head swirling with too many concepts to remember. Let me work on that see how it goes. Thanks! :-)
