I am on the second page of the blog tutorial and am trying to change the base-site.html template.
I make a few small changes, set the permissions to 755, put it in a subdirectory named 'admin' within a directory called 'template' inside of the project directory. I also add the template directory path to the TEMPLATE_DIRS variable in settings.py and restart the server. After several hours of trying things suggested in different forums on this topic, I decided to just rename the original base_site.html in django/contrib/admin/templates/admin and create a blank "blank_site.html". After doing this, one would expect to get a blank page if the templates in TEMPLATE_DIRS were not found. However, I am getting the same "Django administration" page. Also, I did go into the manage.py shell and check TEMPLATE_DIRS: it is set to the correct directory. I am starting to think this is some kind of Django server cache issue (tried clearing browser cache). I can see that many new-comers to Django have come across this issue and none of the suggestions for these users seem to work. However, I have never seen anyone mention a cache being the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
