unable to override widget

[Nicolas Emiliani]

Hi!

I'm trying to override the AdminFileWidget with no success. The idea is to get a thumbnail

next to the uploaded files in a tabular view of the admin site. I did the following :

class AdminImageWidget(AdminFileWidget):

    def render(self, name, value, attrs=None):

Override the widget class for the image field

class ImageGalleryForm(forms.ModelForm):

    '''

        Image Admin form

    '''

    class Meta:

        model = HomeImage

        fields =('image','description','name','height','width',) 

        widgets = {

            'image' : AdminImageWidget,

        }

Here I set the Form

class ImageGaleryInline(admin.TabularInline):

    form = ImageGalleryForm

    model = HomeImage

    extra = 3

           

    fieldsets = [

        (None, {

            'fields' : [

                ('image','description','name','height','width'),

                ]

            }

        ),

    ]

But the widget still shows itself as the AdminFileWidget, Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Just in case somebody reads this : I fxed it, it was working, but an exception inside the 

render method made the output look like the parent widget :S
