Resize fields in Django Admin

Question

Django tends to fill up horizontal space when adding or editing entries on the admin, but, in some cases, is a real waste of space, when, i.e., editing a date field, 8 chara

Answer 1

The best way I found is something like this:

class NotificationForm(forms.ModelForm):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): 
        super(NotificationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['content'].widget.attrs['cols'] = 80
        self.fields['content'].widget.attrs['rows'] = 15
        self.fields['title'].widget.attrs['size'] = 50
    class Meta:
        model = Notification

Its much better for ModelForm than overriding fields with different widgets, as it preserves name and help_text attributes and also default values of model fields, so you don't have to copy them to your form.
