Re: Please help me with CBV template_name behaviour.

Dear James,

Thanks for your reply.

1. I'll investigate using the "Django debug toolbar".
2. re: "extraneous classes":  I was trying to make a point of how to construct the second-2 classes from the first-2. The second-2 classes (CRUD classes) are a text copy of the first-2 with the difference being that the second-2 have their names changed, in the appropriate 2 places & (I THOUGHT) they point to A DIFFERENT Crud Template ('contacts/crudlist.htm'). The Crud Template IS NOT USED FOR RENDERING. INSTEAD the Template mentioned in the first-2 classes is used.
3. re: "template inheritance structure". Any Django Docs on this subject?

I'll investigate the Debug Toolbar & see what it tells me.

Again, THANKS, BIG TIME, James.

Love and peace,

Joe

The Django debug toolbar can likely illuminate the problem here, or at least provide a direction. You would need to verify the template(s) that have been rendered as part of your view call, and that they're actually doing what you think they're doing.

It's a bit hard to follow your code, as you include extraneous classes that don't appear to be relevant to the problem (no inheritance, no indication they've been triggered, etc.). With that being said, your output from the view appears to be correct and shows a different (and correct) template_name for each view. I might be missing something though, and admittedly I'm responding on my phone.

My assumption at this point would be that the templates are rendered correctly by Django (correctly meaning 'as configured'), and that the issue actually lies within your template inheritance structure (if any). Again, the debug toolbar will walk you through that.
