Grappelli Dashboard Instructions incomplete.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Which DJANGO-VERSION are you using?
1.3

Which GRAPPELLI-VERSION are you using?
    version='2.3.3',

Which BROWSER (including the version) are you using?
14.0.786.0 (Developer Build 87939 Linux) Ubuntu 10.10

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. pip install -E environ -e 
svn+http://django-grappelli.googlecode.com/svn/trunk#egg=django-grappelli
2. follow 
http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-grappelli/latest/quickstart.html#installation
3. i use a static subdomain for my static files, so suing ./manage.py 
collectstatic gets all the staticfiles to the required place
4. becuase I use a static subdomain, and because I use a context processor to 
calculate the ADMIN_MEDIA_URL, i copy all the grappelli templates to a place in 
my project where they can be found.
5. follow : 
http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-grappelli/latest/dashboard_setup.html
6. touch ../cgi/django.wsgi && tail ../logs/errors.log -f
7. re-fresh page to {{Site.domain}}/admin
8. admin page remains the same.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the admin page to change. And it does when I remove the admin 
templates in my project.

Please provide any additional information below.

what exactly is the information you´re missing in the docs? sorry, can´t 
follow your proposal.

you´re saying that you copy the grappelli-templates (!) because you calculate 
ADMIN_MEDIA_URL. you know that the MEDIA_URL is not related to the location of 
your templates, right?

• Changed state: Invalid

I distinctly wrote : ADMIN_MEDIA_URL

not MEDIA_URL.

that's not even the point here anyway.

The point is the main admin(1) page DOES NOT CHANGE when you follow the 
instructions for implementing a custom dashboard.

what did you do in order to debug the issue?

what kind of TEMPLATE_LOADERS are you using (in which order)?
what´s your ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX, STATIC_URL, STATIC_ROOT?

I've got the same problem, followed the Dashboard setup as per 
http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-grappelli/en/latest/dashboard_setup.html
and at the end of it after refreshing nothing changes on the admin site. I'm 
honestly not even sure what its supposed to look like, but going through 
dashboard.py it looks like there supposed to be more than just the one column 
with all the same options as the regular site.
