Settings

PINAX_DOCUMENTS_HOOKSET

Used to provide your own custom hookset methods, as described above. Value is a dotted path to your own hookset class:

PINAX_DOCUMENTS_HOOKSET = "myapp.hooks.DocumentsHookSet"

Templates

Default templates are provided by the pinax-templates app in the documents section of that project.

Reference pinax-templates installation instructions to include these templates in your project.

Customizing Templates

Override the default pinax-templates templates by copying them into your project subdirectory pinax/documents/ on the template path and modifying as needed.

For example if your project doesn't use Bootstrap, copy the desired templates then remove Bootstrap and Font Awesome class names from your copies. Remove class references like class="btn btn-success" and class="icon icon-pencil" as well as bootstrap from the {% load i18n bootstrap %} statement. Since bootstrap template tags and filters are no longer loaded, you'll also need to update {{ form|bootstrap }} to {{ form }} since the "bootstrap" filter is no longer available.
