[carmine trellis]

I using Tailwindcss custom admin dashboard style and i know it should changed in app_list.html, but i get nothing when i using {{ model.xxxxx }}
app_list.html

{% load i18n %}

{% if app_list %}
  {% for app in app_list %}
    <div class="app-{{ app.app_label }} module{% if app.app_url in request.path|urlencode %} current-app{% endif %}">
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="{{ app.app_url }}" class="section" title="{% blocktranslate with name=app.name %}Models in the {{ name }} application{% endblocktranslate %}">{{ app.name }}</a>
        </li>
        {% for model in app.models %}
          <li class="model-{{ model.object_name|lower }}{% if model.admin_url in request.path|urlencode %} current-model{% endif %}">
            {% if model.admin_url %}
              <a class="flex items-center p-2 text-base font-normal text-gray-900 rounded-lg dark:text-white hover:bg-gray-100 dark:hover:bg-gray-700"
                 href="{{ model.admin_url }}"{% if model.admin_url in request.path|urlencode %} aria-current="page"{% endif %}>
                <i class="{{ model.get_icon }}"></i>
                {{ model.name }}
              </a>
            {% else %}
              {{ model.name }}
            {% endif %}
          </li>
        {% endfor %}
      </ul>
    </div>
  {% endfor %}
{% else %}
  <p>{% translate 'You don’t have permission to view or edit anything.' %}</p>
{% endif %}

admin.py

@admin.register(Category)
class CategoryAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['id', 'name', ]
    list_editable = ['name']

    def get_icon(self):
        return 'fa-solid fa-grip'

ModelAdmin != model

[carmine trellis]

What should i do, im noobie

[runic hornet]

You've defined get_icon on ModelAdmin but you refer it template on model
Admin is pretty complicated to bend, but at least you could try defining it as staticmethod on Model class

supposedly {{ model.model }} is a the Model class so it should be accessible

[carmine trellis]

I delete admin.py get_icon and add it to model

class Category(models.Model):
    name = models.TextField(max_length=32)

    @staticmethod
    def get_icon():
        return mark_safe('<i class="fa-solid fa-github"></i>')

but still not working

The strange thing is that it doesn't get any text or html input, doesn't display anything, and also doesn't get any errors, I'm curious if this is an error or just doesn't work?

[runic hornet]

It's not an error, it's just how templates work

how did you try to refer it?

[carmine trellis]

I just use the {{ model.get_icon }} variable in the template and don't do anything else to set it up.

{% load i18n %}
...
              <a class="flex items-center p-2 text-base font-normal text-gray-900 rounded-lg dark:text-white hover:bg-gray-100 dark:hover:bg-gray-700"
                 href="{{ model.admin_url }}"{% if model.admin_url in request.path|urlencode %} aria-current="page"{% endif %}>
                {{ model.get_icon }}
                {{ model.name }}
              </a>
...

[runic hornet]

And I was suggesting {{ model.model.get_icon }}

because {{ app.model }} is a dictionary it seems, not the actual Model

but should include based from the code

[carmine trellis]

Its working noe, thank you my friend🥳

@runic hornet Is there any similar method that can be applied to the app name? I've tried everything online including changing APPconfig, rewriting the get_context(self,request) method with no success. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

What you mean exactly? Adding icon to each app title in model list?
