Django Admin Template - Volt Bootstrap 5

Hello Coders!

This article presents an open-source Django Admin Template that after the installation overwrites the default admin interface (all widgets). This Django Template is crafted on top of Bootstrap 5 using the latest version without a jQuery dependency by Themesberg. For newcomers, Django is a leading web framework coded and actively supported by experienced developers that provides a default admin interface. Django Template Volt aims to enhance the admin section with a responsive layout and more appealing components and widgets.

• Django Volt Dashboard - open-source starter (same design)
• Django Volt Dashboard - LIVE Demo

The product can be downloaded and used via PyPi (as a Python package) using PIP:

$ pip install django-admin-volt// OR$ pip install git+https://github.com/app-generator/django-admin-volt.git

Once the installation is complete, the next step is to update the Django configuration with a few things to activate the template:

Step #1 - Add admin_volt to INSTALLED_APPS node in project settings:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (        ...        'admin_volt.apps.AdminVoltConfig',        'django.contrib.admin',    )

Step #2 - Check django.template.context_processors.request is enabled

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

As specified by the product documentation, for legacy apps built with Django 1.8 (of bellow) the context processors should be specified using a different syntax:

    from django.conf import global_settings    TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (        'django.core.context_processors.request',    )

Step #3 - Create the superuser and access the admin section

$ # Create Admin User$ python manage.py createsuperuser$ $ # Start the application (development mode)$ python manage.py runserver # default port 8000

Access the admin section in the browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
