Sorry, I thought I included my views.py earlier, but here it is:
http://dpaste.com/660653/
It is the
(r'^items/$','myapp.views.items')
which is not working. It shows the expected HTML source--basically,
exactly what I have in the template file, except {{ STATIC_URL }} has been
changed to '/static' and all of the template tags have been replaced by
actual values. So yes, I think that it's just not rendered. What could
cause this?
thanks,
Guillaume
