My project structure goes *holon* * -holon* -settings.py -etc * -portal** -App name* * -static* css / images *-templates* -main site template files views.py urls.py etc * -templates* base.html base_site.hrml
its not changing the admin pages template which is what im trying to do. What am I doing wrong i think my path might be wrong I believe it should be taking me to the root holon directory so the project directory, then i specify templates folder. and I put the two files in there and modified them a bit, but its still the default admin page. What am I doing wrong? so my settings.py file is """ Django settings for holon project.
