Using Django admin template tags

I wanna use templatetags of contrib.admin in Djnago. To do this added required things to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    ...
)

But when I try to use one of the tags, it says Invalid block tag: 'x'. I tried to use 'search_form' and 'admin_list_filter' tags and I saw the error for them.

{% block search %}{% search_form cl %}{% endblock %}

{% for spec in cl.filter_specs %}{% admin_list_filter cl spec %}{% endfor %}

What may I be missing?

Thank You

The template tags from the Django admin are not really re-usable. To use the search_form tag, you would have to provide a ChangeList instance, which is very tightly coupled to the Django admin.

If you were able to reuse the tag, you would have to load the tag library first. The search_form tag is in django.contrib.admin.templatetags.admin_list. Therefore, you would have to load the admin_list tags before could use it.

{% load admin_list %}
{% search_form cl %}
