Open-source Django Admin Template for styling the default Admin Section: Django Dashboard Volt can be downloaded and used as a package via PyPi.

interface (all widgets). This Django Template is crafted on top of Bootstrap 5 using the latest version without a jQuery dependency. 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. Thanks for reading!

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:
π Step #1 - Add admin_volt
to INSTALLED_APPS
node in project settings
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'admin_volt.apps.AdminVoltConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
π 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',
)
π 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/
