[@UserHuge]

well, that seemed like you have just guessed the file to edit, that leaves a for questions. How do you find out the right blocks or files to override??

[@anupamaiyengar2559]

can we add ajax forms in the django admin in the following case- dynamically load drop down values (child model )when a choice in selected (parent model) from another drop down.

[@saadessam]

Good tutorial.

[@emonymph6911]

At 3min how did you pull up the file structure tree in a .txt file? Did you manually create that? :O

[@veryacademy]

Hey, yeah all by hand that one! I would have copied a general structure from somewhere.

[@matovumicheal7758]

I found it really helpful

[@machinimaaquinix3178]

This is a great series! I think I can use the stuff here to add another button next to the "Save" button to extend the admin page a bit more right?

[@veryacademy]

For sure, I will be moving into adding functionality very soon, once I finished the e-commerce I will put out a few more on this subject

[@stefanAH97]

very helpful, thnx alot!

[@fowad27]

I want to create a "users" link on my websites homepage which allows you to add or remove users is you are logged in as a superuser... if I want to create a stripped-down version of the users website without all of the functionality, how do I ensure I can access the full users page myself in case I need it? In other words, is there a way to create a template which is used for the front end and another one used for the backend?

[@techzone305]

very helpful. Thanks!

[@birhanushimles6478]

Great

[@sagargulati639]

Best to use a venv

[@Asgallu]

[@jacknayem]

I have hosted my Django website. But there the default admin panel do not get css. what should I do sir?

[@florinalexandruciovica2526]

no matter what i write in base.html under virtual environment, nothing changes there. why is that?

[@hrushikeshvazurkar]

You are GOD

[@veryacademy]

Thanks mate, I am really not, but that's ok.

[@LongThanh-tm5et]

sorry but my project has no venv folder, so can you tell me where the problem is please?

[@veryacademy]

You don’t have to make one, but you can do. Py or python -m venv venv in the terminal then venv\Scripts\activate

[@LongThanh-tm5et]

@@veryacademy thanks!

[@RellonLawrence]

What happes to the css when you run collect static?

[@veryacademy]

Hey Rellon, lets remember that when you run collect static the css will be copied across from the venv>django to the static folder.

[@RellonLawrence]

@@veryacademy would that not overwrite any changes? Or should we run collect static and then make changes?

[@matovumicheal7758]

Thanks

[@upodai]

👏

[@kapilraj5140]

Hey could you please provide that notepad file that you have shown, the one with the file structure?

[@benowen8321]

vs code I think. Atom is another good editor.

[@AHabib1080]

I have followed you but my Css files gone missing

[@LetWorkTogether]

Could you upload your code, please?
