Try it like this:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
"C:/xampp/htdocs/mytemplates/"
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)
You are expected to list locations (in other words: directories, hence the
DIRS part) of where the loader will look for templates, in search order.
[see https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/ref/settings/#template-dirs]
Since the docs are not really descriptive there, here is a simplified
explanation:
When defining the template to be used with a context, built in a view, you
will always give a relative path, starting from any path you set in
TEMPLATE_DIRS, at least that is how you can easily remember what to put
where.
The same principle works for the admin views. The view is telling the
loader to load the template "admin/base_site.html", so the loader will
prepend each template_dirs to that starting with the first, checking if
there is a template there and return it when its found.
Hope that helps.
