Still no luck.
Tried a custom class:
class LongTextinput(TextInput):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
attrs = kwargs.setdefault('attrs', {})
attrs.setdefault('size', 100)
super(LongTextinput, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
...
formfield_overrides = {
models.CharField: {'widget': LongTextinput},
}
No luck.
Replace admin.site.register with decorator:
@admin.register(Article)
still no luck.
ArticleAdmin has an additional item, with
full code below
@admin.register(Article)
class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [CommentInline]
formfield_overrides = {
models.CharField: {'widget': LongTextinput},
}
It appears that inlines is being executed.
It says right here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/910169/resize-fields-in-django-admin
that it is supposed to be easy, but after hours of tweaking, I'm convinced that
formfield_overrides is being ignored.
