There are cases where template subdirectories are not 1-to-1 with your applications, and there are also cases where an application may want to overload some other app's templates. The most obvious cases of the latter are when you want to override the templates of Django-contributed applications. > I'm sure I'm just misunderstanding some design concept of Django, but > I'd appreciate if someone could explain this.

If you have the "app" loader in your setting.py file under TEMPLATE_LOADERS, it should automatically look under the "templates" directory of an application. -- --Max Battcher-- http://www.worldmaker.net/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
