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

Hi,

Wow. Everything you've shown looks right.

Here's something to try: replace base_site.html with a completely empty file. That should cause the admin page to be completely blank.

If that works, could you post a snippet of where you're changing the template? Are you changing the <title> and expecting the <h1> to be different?

Thanks for your help.

I really think there is something wrong with that part of the tutorial. A small thing, but wrong.

Nope. 

This is where I placed it:

...

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

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

...

just tried this:

import mysite.settings as settings

print settings.TEMPLATE_DIRS

['D:\\Programming\\eclipse\\mysite\\templates']

so no: not empty.

Why is my file templates/admin/base_site.html never called

when I open http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ or http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/polls/  ?

Thanks.

How to test that?

The things I have done were these:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/#customizing-your-project-s-templates

mkdir templates

mkdir templates/admin

cp /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html templates/admin/

ls -l templates/admin/base_site.html

-rw-r--r-- 1 user group 338 Nov 21 18:50 templates/admin/base_site.html

(and www-data is member of that group)

nano templates/admin/base_site.html   -> changed it to what I want to see

nano mysite/settings.py  -->   TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

restarted the server.

Hi,

Do other templates work in that folder?

The tutorial did not create any view.py for the admin pages

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

We copied from the Django source files these two into:

/mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html

and

/mysite/templates/admin/index.html

and in https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/#customize-the-admin-change-list

edited:

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin

# Register your models here.

from django.contrib import admin

from polls.models import Choice, Question

class ChoiceInline(admin.TabularInline):

    model = Choice

    extra = 3

class QuestionAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

    fieldsets = [

        (None,               {'fields': ['question_text']}),

admin.site.register(Question, QuestionAdmin)

thanks for your answer.

yes, I just tried that. Same result.

 

By now, I have understood much more about the templates.

 

But still, for the admin pages

mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html   

doesn't work yet.

Obviously you've restarted the server and refreshed the page in such a way to ensure it's not a caching issue ?

Check your settings file, are there two TEMPLATE_DIRS variables defined? Possibly you created one in your edit, but Django already has an empty one defined. If your edit was placed before the one that is already defined, it would end up empty, hence no override. 

Yea, can we see your base_site.html?
