Re: template location for django-registration framework

First: thank you!

Yes I did search before asking

I was trying to place the templates under my project tree (rather than under "Python37-32\Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\registration" and could not make it work.

Per you advice I also tried putting the template file at the above mentioned directory as a temporary solution but I still get the same error message.

You can either create your own pages or copy the whole templates under the django admin site -- site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/registration/

I have installed "django-registration:" and now follow "https://django-registration.readthedocs.io/en/3.0/quickstart.html" 

I have set URLs as explained (see below) but failed to tell django where to find the templates.

What do I need to do to have django find the templates?

More details:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/register/

is resulted with an error: 

TemplateDoesNotExist at /accounts/register/

django_registration/registration_form.html

I have tried to locate registration_form.html at django_reistration/reister/templates at "django_registration\registration\templates\registration" under my project.  

Also tried "django-registration\registration\templates\registration" and several other locations but I keep getting the error message. 

The problem could be the template location or  a missing setting,...

• I added no app to the "INSTALLED_APPS" at setting.py
  
• my template is:
  

TEMPLATES = [

    {

        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',

        # changed at tutor7

        # 'DIRS': [],

        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],

        # DIRS is a list of filesystem directories to check when loading Django templates; it’s a search path

        'APP_DIRS': True,

        'OPTIONS': {

            'context_processors': [

                'django.template.context_processors.debug',

                'django.template.context_processors.request',

                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',

                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',

            ],

        },

    },

]

from django.conf.urls import include, url    urlpatterns = [      # Other URL patterns ...      url(r'^accounts/', include('django_registration.backends.activation.urls')),      url(r'^accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),      # More URL patterns ...
