Ah.  The missing piece to bring order to all of this confusion on my 
part.

I was using "myapp/index.html", per Tutorial 3's example.

Obviously (now), this is what was allowing my index.html to be found when 
using
TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/myproject',)

... and also what was causing the app to expect to find "base.html" in
/myproject and not /myproject/myapp

And my failure to be able to use {% extend "myapp/base.html %} with my
TEMPLATE_DIR set as above was because... I had not MOVED IT to
myapp.  Geez.

This all makes perfect sense to me now and I have it working as I wanted it 
to.

Thank you all again for the help.

You didn't post how you loaded the template in your view function. In
particular, what path string you used.

In any event, this isn't magic. I suggest you read this section of the
docs:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/api/#loading-templates

In particular, pay attention to the TEMPLATE_DIRS and TEMPLATE_LOADERS
settings in your project. Those settings control the template search
order.

Thank you all.  I will digest the replies when I have the time to properly

place by shoving base.html into the project root).

It still, regardless of solutions, even in light of the words shared in this

You found index.html fine!  It says in it to extend "base.html"!  Find it in

In settings.py you have this:

Note it says "DIRS", and its a tuple.  Add the other paths to where you want
to look for templates.

The way I've done my template layout is to have a template directory under
the project, then subdirectories for each app.

When you specify a template that is project level, you just use its name.
For app specific templates you specify like: "app1/mytemplate.html"

2011-04-14 Thread Yuka Poppe 
Hi Jeff,

I think Gladys is correct, the reason for your code finding the index
template, is because its probably looking for 'myapp/index.html'
instead of just 'index.html'

Im not really sure if you're also distinguishing between the project
template root and the app directory template dirs.

Generally this would be how the template directories would be layed out:

/whatever/templates
/whatever/myproject/myapp/templates
/whatever/myproject/mysecondapp/templates

First django looks in the templates set in your settings.py
(/whatever/templates) then, depending on the order in installed apps,
it looks at /templates


So when you try to extend just 'base.html' it tries
/whatever/templates/base.html,
/whatever/myproject/myapp/templates/base.html, /whatever/my.. etc.
regardless of wheter or not the template where you are including from
is in the same directory. So again, why your index.html is working and
extending base.html doesnt work is in my best guess, due to the fact
that your code was looking for 'myapp/index.html' and the template
tried to include just 'base.html', which you said was located in
'myapp'

Take note that if you do try to extend 'myapp/base.html' for the app
based template directories, it would actually look in
/whatever/myproject/myapp/templates/myapp/base.html, this might seem
confusing at first.

Hope this helps, Yuka

First, thanks for the reply.

It's *finding* my /myproject/myapp/*index.html* template (the one that calls 
"base.html"), so something clearly knows about where to find my templates, 
yet "extend" looks elsewhere.

That is, if I make /myproject/myapp/index.html to be completely 
self-contained, it is found and loaded fine.

If I change it to {% extend "base.html" %}, it can't find that referenced 
template.

That seems broken to me.

I tried your suggestion above (the other day, and again now) in 
/myproject/myapp/index.html

{% extend "myapp/base.html" %}

It does not work:

Caught TemplateDoesNotExist while rendering: myapp/base.html

ALSO... I changed the following from:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
'/myproject',
)

to:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
'/myproject/myapp',
)

Which then results in failure to find even /myproject/myapp/index.html

TemplateDoesNotExist at /

2011-04-14 Thread gladys 
Hello,

The root directory for your templates is in  '/whatever/myproject', so
of course it will look for your base.html here.
Now if your base is in another location, say "/whatever/myproject/
myapp/base.html", your extends should look like this:
{% extends "myapp/base.html" %}.

Best of Luck.

base.html (extended by others) has to be in project (not app) root?

Django 1.3

Hi all,

I can't seem to get around this.  It appears that, the following 
"index.html" template in */whatever/myproject/myapp*

{% extends "base.html %}


Looks for base.html as /whatever/myproject/base.html instead 
of /whatever/myproject/myapp/base.html

My TEMPLATE_DIRS is set as follows, and with this setting, the 
*/whatever/myproject/myapp/index.html 
template is loaded fine* if I make it self-contained (not extending)

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
'/whatever/myproject',
)

Any ideas?
