    <p>To add some content to a Django admin view of a model, I want to override the <code>change_form.html</code> template. According to the <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/admin/#overriding-admin-templates" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> I would need to create a file <code>change_form.html</code> in a the folder <code>/project-path/templates/admin/appname/modelname/</code>. Of course I need to make sure, that this path is also available in <code>TEMPLATE_DIRS</code>. Such a file could look like this:</p> <pre><code>{% extends "admin/change_form.html" %} {% load i18n %} {% block after_field_sets %} SOME CONTENT {% endblock %} </code></pre> <p>However, I make use of <a href="https://github.com/lukaszb/django-guardian" rel="nofollow">django-guardian</a> to have object permissions. This Django app overrides <code>change_form.html</code> as well (which works fine -- relevant source seems to be <a href="https://github.com/lukaszb/django-guardian/blob/master/guardian/admin.py" rel="nofollow">here</a>), but Django doesn't pick up my template extension file (i.e. "SOME CONTENT" from the sample above isn't displayed). The blocks/parts I want to override are <em>not</em> the same ones that django-guardian overrides and eventually I want to have the additions to <code>change_form.html</code> of django-guardion <em>and</em> of my template.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong here? And is possible at all to have multiple applications overriding an admin template?</p> <p>If it is of interest, this is my <code>TEMPLATE_LOADERS</code> setting:</p> <pre><code>TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader', 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader' ) </code></pre> <p>Also, django-guardian is the last app in the <code>INSTALLED_APPS</code> array.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
