Ah ha: the answer is relatively simple.

  • copy the css/templates folders (called js, css & img) from inside contrib/admin/media/ (which is in usr/lib/local/.../) (just do a find -name to get the exact directory) to project_name/static

  • change your settings.py and urls.py to enable static content serving

  • reload web app

  • celebrate

Hi there,

As far as we know, you shouldn't have to do anything that complicated. Django admin CSS should "just work"... are you using staticfiles_urlpatterns?
