I'm working through one of the template examples in the django book
and the template file I created isn't being recognized for some reason
even though it's in the folder. The error report is at the bottom of
the page. The TEMP_DIRS variable is set to the correct file path in my
settings file: TEMPLATE_DIRS = ("/Users/Documents/Music\ App/redlab/
templates",)
The view function is in order too:
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
from django.http import HttpResponse
import datetime
def current_datetime(request):
now = datetime.datetime.now()
t = get_template('current_datetime.html')
html = t.render(Context({'current_date':now}))
return HttpResponse(html)
The url file is also in order:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import*
from redlab.views import current_datetime
urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^time/$', current_datetime))
And there is a current_datetime.html file in the templates directory
with the following code in it:
<html><body>It is now {{ current_date }}.</body></html>
But the file isn't being recognized for some reason. Please advise.
thnx.
