Django JET

Modern template for Django admin interface with improved functionality

This repo is maintained by myself. The people from GeexArts did a great job with this theme but the unfortunately made the decision to create another one based on a cloud solution.

I love this theme and this is the reason I want to keep this alive. :)

Django JET has two kinds of licenses: open-source (AGPLv3) and commercial. Please note that using AGPLv3 code in your programs make them AGPL compatible too. So if you don't want to comply with that we can provide you a commercial license (visit Home page). The commercial license is designed for using Django JET in commercial products and applications without the provisions of the AGPLv3.

Why Django JET?

• Minimal template overriding
• Easy integration
• Themes support
• Autocompletion
• Handy controls

Installation

• Download and install latest version of Django JET:

pip install django-jet

• Add 'jet' application to the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your Django project settings.py file (note it should be before 'django.contrib.admin'):

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'jet',
    'django.contrib.admin',
)

• Make sure django.template.context_processors.request context processor is enabled in settings.py (Django 1.8+ way):

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                ...
            ],
        },
    },
]

• Add URL-pattern to the urlpatterns of your Django project urls.py file (they are needed for related–lookups and autocompletes):

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^jet/', include('jet.urls', 'jet')),  # Django JET URLS
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    ...
)

• Create database tables:

python manage.py migrate jet

• Collect static if you are in production environment:

python manage.py collectstatic

• Clear your browser cache
