Re: Customize the admin look and feel

Hi,

Your TEMPLATE_DIRS should contain a path to a folder where you want to keep 

your templates. Say if your project is in D:/myproject then create a folder named 

template under D:\myproject, and in that folder create a folder named admin and then copy and paste base_site.html into the admin folder. 

TEMPLATE_DIRS section should look like the below snippet in settings.py

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

    'D:/myproject /templates'

)

Now copy the template admin/base_site.html from within the default
Django admin template directory in the source code of Django itself
(django/contrib/admin/templates) into an admin subdirectory of
whichever directory you're using in TEMPLATE_DIRS. For example, if
your TEMPLATE_DIRS includes "/home/my_username/mytemplates", as above,
then copy django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html to /home/
my_username/mytemplates/admin/base_site.html. Don't forget that admin
subdirectory.

I found the "base_site" at C:/Django-1.2.4/django/contrib/admin/
templates/admin/base_site.html.

I have no idea where this is supposed to be copied and pasted to.

Any help please?
