I'm wondering if I did the right thing, here. I wanted to replace the admin/base_site.html template, but only for requests to /myapp/admin/ *, leaving requests to /admin/* alone.
The first thing I tried was a copy/modify of base_site.html to myapp/ templates/admin/myapp/, but the modifications weren't in effect on the index page -- not the desired outcome. Then I tried a hack that added myapp's templates directory to TEMPLATE_DIRS at runtime, which did have the effect I want in /myapp/ admin, but it also overrode the templates on requests to /admin. Not the desired outcome. (After some reading, I believe I understand why I didn't get what I want on the above two attempts.) Lastly, I tried creating a AdminSite subclass that pointed to a custom index page: admin/index_myapp.html, which now extends a custom base- site template: admin/base_site_myapp.html. This gives me what I want: it leaves /admin/ requests alone and overrides the templates for / myapp/admin/. It does have the drawback, though, of having to maintain my own [largely unchanged] copy of the admin-index template, which means possibly having to keep track of changes to Django's admin- index template with each new Django release. Is there a better method for replacing base_site.html on requests to app-specific urls, that doesn't involve duplicating the index page? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
