Are you familiar with Django at all? If so, its important to remember that at its core, this is still Django and pretty much all rules apply. (TEMPLATE_DIRS is not Satchmo specific, but a Django configuration).
If you are unfamiliar with Django, it may be worth a look for you to run through the Django tutorial to familiarize yourself with how Django projects are setup, etc. We're all here to help but to me, learning Django by way of learning Satchmo is a daunting task in my book. Also, I know the documentation can be out of date, but I want to be sure you are using the appropriate versions of Satchmo/Django. For best results, make sure you are using the version of Satchmo that you get from the mercurial tree, not the subversion tree. And be using Django 1.1 On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 1:57 PM, Chaim Krause <[email protected]> wrote: > > I understand why you are suggesting that, and I appreciate the help, but... > > 1) the docs claim it should work out of the box, so I think something is > broken > > 2) I don't know what to add to TEMPLATE_DIRS since there is no > documentation about what I need to add.
