Using Quill to edit Django flatpages?

[bernd-wechner]

The flatpages app is built into Django but lacks a decent editor:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/contrib/flatpages/

I'd love to see some docs on how to attach the Quill editor to the django flatpages admin.

It's not hard as it happens, but still would be nice to see it documented as it's a common use case IMHO.

In the app's top directory, just ad admin.py if you don't have one or open it if you have one and add:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.flatpages.admin import FlatPageAdmin
from django.contrib.flatpages.models import FlatPage
from django.db import models

from django_quill.widgets import QuillWidget

class FlatPageCustom(FlatPageAdmin):
    formfield_overrides = {
        models.TextField: {'widget': QuillWidget}
    }

admin.site.unregister(FlatPage)
admin.site.register(FlatPage, FlatPageCustom)
