Question

I am very new to Django and, following their tutorial, I am having issues loading a custom admin template (specifically, I am having trouble at the bottom of https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial02/).

I have updated my TEMPLATE_DIRS so it looks like:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    '/Users/myname/Developer/Eclipse/templates/admin',
)

I have also tried:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
        '/Users/myname/Developer/Eclipse/templates/admin/base_site.html',
    )

The path for where I am storing this custom template follows:

“/Users/myname/Developer/Eclipse/templates/admin” (copy and pasted directly from file info)

Could someone point out what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Unless you don’t use your admin folder for all the templates use this (I guess you want to overwrite admin templae. So admin folder should be subfolder of your template folder):

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    '/Users/myname/Developer/Eclipse/templates/',
)
