This much is already possible right?

This arises mostly when overriding admin templates, like `admin/base.html`. In my ideal world, I'd be able to do something like this: # myapp/templates/admin/base.html {% override "admin/base.html" %} {% block footer %}this site is restricted, blah blah legal text blah{% endblock %} And then the template loading system would find the next `admin/base.html` in the chain and use my overrides. There is prior art too. https://pypi.org/project/django-apptemplates/ allows you to override a template from a specific app using this syntax: # myapp/templates/admin/base.html {% extends "admin:admin/base.html" %} {% block footer %}this site is restricted, blah blah legal text blah{% endblock %} I think this kind of functionality should be included within Django itself. If others agree, should there be a new name such as override, or would overloading extends be good enough? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
