Thanks for that. Unfortunately the answer at that link is ten years old and I think Django Admin must have moved on since then. I'm still trying to debug an inexplicable KeyError but I think I understand the approach.
I'll keep trying Cheers mike

I've looked at the AdminTextareaWidget which is probably based on the TextInput built-in widget but see no way to influence what it does. In theory I'd create a new widget inheriting from that and use mark_safe() somehow. Then I would need to tell the admin form to use it for my ddstructure field. BUT see my template effort belowDid you try displaying in the normal admin lists? This was my understanding of where you wanted to see it and the code snippets I posted were for that purpose. If you want to see it as "read only" in the form, but shown as SVG, perhaps you need a custom model template (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#templates-which-may-be-overridden-per-app-or-model <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#templates-which-may-be-overridden-per-app-or-model>)Again, my feet don't touch bottom. I tried adding some code to change_form.html like this ... {% extends "admin/change_form.html" %} {% block content %}{{ block.super }} {% if original.ddstructure %} {{ original.ddstructure | safe }} {% else %} <p>No 2D structure image </p> {% endif %} {% endblock %} This kinda worked. It comes after block.super so it displays the svg image correctly but at the bottom of the page. AND the raw (or safe) code also displays in the location where I really want the image. So close but ... How do I get it to display inline in the proper place? Many thanks for hanging in there Cheers MikeDerek On Thursday, 3 June 2021 at 08:22:57 UTC+2 Mike Dewhirst wrote: On 3/06/2021 4:00 pm, Derek wrote: > > > > E.g. > > > > class MyModel(): > > svg_text = CharField() > > in my case it is ... > > class Chemical(models.Model): > ... > ddstructure = models.TextField( > null=True, > blank=True, > verbose_name="2D structure", > ) > The above is unchanged. # admin class ChemicalAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): def _ddstructure(self, obj): return mark_safe(obj.ddstructure) ... fieldsets = ( ( None, { "fields": ( "ddstructure", # displays svg code "_ddstructure", ... } ), FYI it works perfectly as a column in the list display - but I don't need it there, rather in the page for the chemical.
