FAQ

Some questions, some answers.

Why should I use Grappelli?

If you are pleased with how the original admin interface looks, you shouldn’t.

I need help!

see Troubleshooting.

Which Browser do I need with Grappelli?

We are testing with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. IE9 and Opera should work fine as well.

Can I use another editor than TinyMCE?

Of course.

Why are you using TinyMCE and not RedactorJS?

Unfortunately, Redactor currently produces strange/wrong HTML. Moreover, we’re missing an easy way to define formatting–options as well as a possibility to insert classes. Once these issue are resolved, we’ll probably switch.

Why don’t you use Twitter Bootstrap?

For now, custom Compass-based stylesheets gives us much more flexibility. But we do understand the need to easily customize the admin interface and we’re discussing this issue on a regular basis.

Do you guys cooperate with the Django–Devs?

Occasionally, we discuss features and implementations.

How can I contribute?

Help is very much appreciated.

What is your goal with Grappelli?

Our goal is that Grappelli will be redundant eventually.
