Changes (by Florian Apolloner):
* status: new => closed
* resolution: => invalid
Comment:
Two things need changing:
* Change FORM_RENDERER to TemplateSettings:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/renderers/#templatessetting
* Fix the template include paths so BASE_DIR is in there (django search
literally for django/forms/widgets…)
Closing this since it is in the documentation
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/renderers/#overriding-
built-in-widget-templates):
> If you use the TemplatesSetting renderer, overriding widget templates
works the same as overriding any other template in your project. You can’t
override built-in widget templates using the other built-in renderers.
That said we will happily take PR improving the wording.
