Hi, As per the suggestion in the ticket (https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/694), I'm starting a thread for discussing the issue. Please see the ticket for complete context, but in summary: the TEMPLATE_DIRS list in settings.py accepts only absolute paths - and many django installations use different absolute paths (between different developers, development vs. deployment, deployed on different servers, etc...). Furthermore, many work around this by modifying the settings.py file to compute the absolute path from a relative path (see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/550632/favorite-django-tips-features). This is a workaround, not a solution.
I would like to see support for relative paths. It seems the solution is simple, but I wonder if there is some compelling reason to require absolute paths? - Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
