Comment:
Thanks herve for taking the time to write a test project.
I think there is a misunderstanding here, not a bug. Let me try and
explain.
The `login` and `logout` views from `dango.contrib.auth` use
`registration/login.html` and `registration/logged_out.html` respectively.
In addition to that, `django.contrib.admin` provides a
`registration/logged_out.html`, but no `registration/login.html` (it uses
its own `admin/login.html`).
If `django.contrib.admin` appears before your own app in
`settings.INSTALLED_APPS`, then the logout view will use the admin's
template instead of your app's.
This has not changed recently, as you can check by running herve's test
project under different versions of django.
As for the tutorial being incorrect, I disagree.
If you read the link given by honyczek in his/her comment, you'll see that
it recommends putting the templates inside a directory specified in
`setings.TEMPLATE_DIRS`.
You can check previous versions of django and see that this is not a new
addition (in fact it's been this way since django 1.0).
With the default settings, `TEMPLATE_DIRS` will take precedence over any
app-specific templates so any templates you provide in thos directory will
be used over the ones defined by `contrib.admin`.
I'm closing this ticket as `invalid` since the behavior described appears
not to be a bug (and furthermore, there is no change between 1.4 and 1.5).
