I am having trouble setting up django to find my template file I have 
created.

The settings.py has, among other sections, the following:


INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'designer.apps.DesignerConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]


TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': 
["/home/john/git/primaryWindingsCalculator/windingCalculator/designer/template"],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

If I take the entry out of the DIRS array, django won't be able to find my 
template file, I have put in a directory:

designer/template/designer/

I thought that if my app was in the INSTALLED_APPS list, then it would look 
in there dor my templates, and in 
designer/static/designer/

for all static files, that it can't find also by the way.

Any help much appreciated.

Many thanks,
John.
