thanks to everyone for all of your assistance. in the end, i created a
custom template loader that pulls templates from a database table,
based on the dbtemplate loader that georg created for his cms system.
i already had a data model so creating the loader and adding the
correct incantations to settings.py was pretty simple.
the problem arrose when there was not a template in the database that
corresponded to a template called from a view or from urls.py. my
understanding of how TEMPLATE_LOADERS worked was that django would
check the first one, the next one listed and the next, etc, until it
found a template. if in the end no template was found, then raise an
exception. this, however, does not seem to be the case for the admin
site. i have:
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
'myproject.myapp.loader.load_template_source',
)
django throws an exception, for example when you try to access the
flatpages section of the admin: /admin/flatpages/flatpage/ ):
DoesNotExist at /admin/flatpages/flatpage/
Templates matching query does not exist.
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost/admin/flatpages/flatpage/
Exception Type: DoesNotExist
Exception Value: Templates matching query does not exist.
Exception Location:
/home/plungerman/django_src/django/db/models/query.py in get, line 204
oddly enough, the admin home page works it seems, as does the
documentation section. can anyone shed some light on this behaviour?
i have added the django admin templates directory to the TEMPLATE_DIRS
variable in setttings.py and this does not help either. seems like i
am missing something here.
later skaters
