Hi,
It is quite common to configure TEMPLATES and STATICFILES_DIRS such that you
can override the templates and static files of installed apps from some
central location.
Maybe startproject should actually generate settings to do this by default?
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
Or maybe:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'mysite', 'static'),
)
In my experience, this is a real pain point for beginners, and doing this
shouldn't hurt anyone. What do you think?
Also, do you think that templates and static files should be treated
differently in this regard? The docs currently suggest such a configuration
for static files, but not for templates. I'd argue that it's more important
for templates, but it cannot harm to do it for both.
