According to the docs:

http://django-grappelli.readthedocs.org/en/latest/customization.html#rearrange-inlines

The two classes for the placeholder are important. First, you need a class placeholder. The second class has to match the id of the inline–group.

All's well and good, I was able to set up my inlines fine, my issue is now - where does grappelli get the "id of the inline group" I can't find any reference, and pouring through the source code is offering me no solace.

Simply, I want to change the element-id that grappelli is using. Currently, it looks to me that it is taking the object name itself and converting to a lowercase name and appending set to the end. Do we have access to override the "id of the inline-group"?

Also, I am not 100% sure exactly how (or where) grappelli is doing this, it is definitely not documented... at all in fact.

Any help would be much appreciated.

It is the id of the inline element on HTML page. You can check the id of the default HTML inline element.

 <div id="[related_name of ForeignKey]-group">

For example: If in model "MyModel2", you have a ForeignKey like this: 

my_model_1 = models.ForeignKey(MyModel1, related_name='my_model_2')

Then the id should be "my_model_2-group".

The id of the inline group is set in grappelli/templates/admin/edit_inline, in stacked.html line 5, or tabular.html line 6 (depending on which type of inline you're usng):

id="{{ inline_admin_formset.formset.prefix }}-group" >

You can override this by copying the file (stacked.html or tabular.html) into your template directory and setting the variable "template" to the file's new location e.g.:

# admin.py

class MyModelInline(admin.StackedInline):
    template = 'path/to/stacked.html'
    ...

Then edit whatever you want in e.g. stacked.html.

I don't know if this is the best-practices way of doing this, but it's similar to what's done in the django tutorial.
