Hi

I'd like to add some additional HTML to to a model form in the admin
backend. This HTML does not have any relevant form-functionality, i.e.
it should just be displayed for the user.

But I need the model instance to create the HTML. Basically, I want to
fetch some images and show them to the user. Theses images should be
located in a folder derived from a property of the model instance.

Now I'm wondering what's the best way to do it (maybe I'm just
over-engeneering here…):
- adding some dummyfield with a widget rendering to the html I want. A
formfield is not designed to do this
- creating a widget rendering the formelement + my html. But I want to
decide where to place this html
- extending the override the ModelForm's as_p etc. methods: not very dry
- ?

In all cases I'm not sure how to access the model, too.
Formfields/Widgets do not have access to the model instance itself,
just to their corresponding value, do they?

So, if I missed something in the docs, just point me there. Any hints
appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Elmar
