Overriding change_list.html for custom app

[Joseph Mohan]

I'm trying to override the change_list.html template (to add a button) for a custom app (my_cms)

If i get the code from django's admin 'contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_list.html to override it messes up mezzanines beautiful template.. 

I can't find mezzanine's (or grappelli's?) equivalent. 

grappelli's: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sehmaschine/django-grappelli/master/grappelli/templates/admin/change_list.html 

throws an error ''grp_tags' is not a valid tag library' and i can only find the page_tree version for mezzanine '

Anyone know where it is?

That is the correct template.

You need to {% extends "admin/change_list.html" %} and override the
complete object-tools block (assuming you will provide the correct
markup for the list and the default buttons). Alternatively, you can
override the object-tools-items block and simply add your own buttons as
<li> elements after {{ block.super }}.

Also, you were looking at the official grappelli repo. Mezzanine uses a
custom fork (grappelli-safe), which is the one I linked to in my
previous message.

This is exactly what I did the other day to override the template only
for one particular model. You can specify the templates used for model admin
within the ModelAdmin class you create. Worked like a charm :)
