Re: my mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html is ignored (tutorial unclear?)

Hi,

To be clear, you should have this setting:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

and in your mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html you should have something like:

{% block branding %}

<h1 id="site-name"><a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">Polls Administration</a></h1>

{% endblock %}

Does that all look right?

Thanks,

Collin

I am working through https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02

so far all went fine - but now templates changes just don't work.

I think there must be a flaw in that tutorial, something missing,

or something different in django 1.7.1 ?

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/#customize-the-admin-look-and-feel

my versions:

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

1.7.1

python --version

Python 2.7.3

SYMPTOM:

my changes in 

mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html   

are simply ignored.

These are my files:

mysite# tree

├── db.sqlite3

├── manage.py

        └── base_site.html

mysite/settings.py:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

Whatever I do, the page

http://myserver:8000/admin/polls/question/

still keeps the old title 'Django administration'

I want to understand how templates work, because I need them for my real project.

Thanks a lot!
