I have been tackling a particular design issue with Wagtail admin. Thus far I have not found a way to enable side scrolling admin listing pages. I want to extend my user model with more data about the users (e.g., occupation, education, address, and so on). While extending Wagtail with some models for a particular project, I noticed Wagtail admin listing pages do not automatically activate sides crolling as Django admin does.
I have looked at Wagtail hooks doccumentation but apparently there isn't a straightforward way to do that. I don't think it would be wise to mess with core css. Does anyone have an idea on how to customize css to enable that?
See pictures below:
This is how Django admin handles it. We can add filters while the table adjusts itself activating side scrolling.
Wagtail Bakery demo user model has few fields. So the listing admin page does not need to side scroll. I have not tested adding filters on this page yet, but I am assuming it will work just as it did to my other models.
This is how my admin page looks like when using filters. The table does not activate side scrolling and gets messed up when I use filters.
I'd appreciate any help poiting the way to best tackle this problem. Thus far I found this and this answers to similar, though not exaclty the same, problems with Wagtail admin design.
