django-ace-overlay
This is an implementation of the Ace Editor for Django, which uses an overlay to edit code instead of editing it directly. This is particularly useful when you are using a code editor in conjunction with inlines -- which gives you a scrolling window inside a scrolling window, enough to drive a person insane.
By default, all code is visible in the admin as read-only text. Clicking the text opens the editor overlay.
Example Usage
$ pip install django-ace-overlay
#settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
ace_overlay,
...
)
#forms.py
from django import forms
from ace_overlay.widgets import AceOverlayWidget
from .models import Template
class TemplateAdminForm(forms.ModelForm):
custom_template = forms.CharField(widget=AceOverlayWidget(mode='html', wordwrap=False, theme='twilight', width="850px", height="800px", showprintmargin=True), required=False)
class Meta:
model = Template
