Usage
Access to the DjangoAdminDialog application.
In this form you indicate the url on which you want to show the modal dialog boxes and the field id.
If you want to know the name of the form fields, you can set this setting variable:
DJANGO_ADMIN_DIALOG_SHOW_IDS = True
Now if you access to your model form, you can see the field id's next to them.
When you access to your model admin form, you can see a new icon next to the field that you indicate previously.
And now you can click on this icon to show the dialog.
