There's a branch of Django called NewForms Admin (http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/NewformsAdminBranch ) which will make it much easier to do what you're trying to do. From murmurings on this list it seems that branch will be merged into trunk before too long (in fact, there's a distinct whiff of 1.0 on the air these days), so it's not worth writing your own patches. Either switch to the nf-admin branch now, if you're in a hurry, or wait until the branch is merged.
