Django Admin UI Customization

1 Shares

Hello Techies,

This blog is about Django admin UI customization. In this blog, I am giving you some examples of how to work on Django admin UI customization such as how to apply CSS on Django admin login UI and how to change Django admin interface.

By default, Django Admin is a responsive GUI, providing a variety of features and overall CRUD applications to help developers and users. Django admin can be customized to meet similar needs.

In my previous blog, I also covered the following topics based on the Django admin.

Table of Contents

Django Admin Login UI Template

Use the following CSS and HTML templates to change the header color and text of the login panel.

Add the below HTML in the templates folder.

# templates/admin/login.html

{% extends 'admin/login.html' %}
{% load static %}

{% block branding %}
    <h1 id="head">
        <img src="{% static '/images/logo.png' %}" alt=""/>
        TechPlusLifestyle (Backend Login)
    </h1>
{% endblock %}

Here we have extended the login HTML template ({% extends ‘admin/login.html’ %}) from the admin so that we can bring the default code of the Django admin login interface.

Add below CSS in static/css folder.

# blog/static/css/adminstyle.css

#header{
    background: rgb(0, 62, 69);
    color: #ffffff;
}

#branding h1{
    color: #ffffff;
}

.login .submit-row{
    padding:0px !important;
    float: right;
}

.button, input[type=submit], input[type=button], .submit-row input, a.button {
    background: rgb(0, 62, 69);
    padding: 10px 15px;
    border: none;
    border-radius: 4px;
    color: #fff;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Django Admin Panel Interface Customization

We need below CSS and HTML template for customizing the Django admin interface.

Add below HTML in the templates folder.

# templates/admin/base_site.html

{% extends 'admin/base.html' %}
{% load static %}

{% block branding %}
    <h1 id="head">
        <img src="{% static '/images/logo.png' %}" alt=""/>
        TechPlusLifestyle
    </h1>

{% endblock %}

{% block extrastyle %}
    <link href="{% static 'css/adminstyle.css' %}" rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />
{% endblock %}

Here we have extended the base HTML template ({% extends ‘admin/base.html’ %}) from the admin so that we can bring the default code of the Django admin interface.

Add below CSS file in the static folder.

# blog/static/css/adminstyle.css

#header{
    background: rgb(0, 62, 69);
    color: #ffffff;
}

#branding h1{
    color: #ffffff;
}

div.breadcrumbs{
    background:rgb(61, 88, 106);
    padding:10px 40px;
    border: none;
    font-size: 14px;
    color: #ffffff;
    text-align: left;
}

We have added the styling to breadcrumb id also.

Let’s add styling to the body content.

Add the below CSS.

# blog/static/css/adminstyle.css

.module h2, .module caption, .inline-group h2{
    background: rgb(0, 62, 69);
}

.dashboard #content {
    width: 850px;
}
