Frequently Asked Questions and Troubleshooting

In this section, we'll cover some common questions and provide solutions for typical issues users may face when using Django Crispy Formset Modal.

Q: I've installed Django Crispy Formset Modal, but I don't see the changes in my formset. What could be the problem?

A: Ensure that you've correctly added 'crispy_formset_modal' to your INSTALLED_APPS setting. Also, make sure you've added the Django Crispy Formset Modal's JavaScript file in your template and properly included jQuery.

Q: I'm trying to use a different template pack, but the formset still uses the default styles. What could be wrong?

A: Check that you've set the CRISPY_TEMPLATE_PACK setting in your Django settings to your desired template pack. Also, ensure that you've included the respective CSS and JS files for your selected template pack in your template.

Q: I've set the modal_size and modal_placement options, but the modal does not change its size or placement. What could be the issue?

A: Check that you're using the ModalSize and ModalPlacement classes from the crispy_formset_modal package to set these options. Also, ensure that the options are set in the ModalEditFormsetLayout object and not elsewhere.

Q: I've overridden the default templates, but the formset still uses the original templates. What should I do?

A: Make sure you've created your custom templates in the correct location. For example, if you're using the Bootstrap 4 template pack and want to override the modal template, your custom template should be in a directory named crispy_formset_modal/bootstrap4/modal.html in your project's templates directory.
