Template not found

template_loaders
template
retag add tags

Hi I have added a app to askbot the way I have done is I have created my app inside askbot folder: So the structure looks like follows:

askbot
|__Templates
|__Views
|__ Utils
|__ upfiles
|__ ... 
|__ experiments
      |__ __init__.py
      |__...
      |__templates
           |__experiments
                |__ *.html
                |__Include
                     |_experiment_enrollment.html

but the problem is I am getting template not found: The error is bit confusing to understand:

My exact error is as follows:

TemplateNotFound at /questions/
askbot/experiments/templates/experiments/include/experiment_enrollment.html
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://localhost:8001/questions/
Django Version: 1.4.10

How are you rendering the template in the views?

for an example `def experiment_details(request, experiment_name, template_name="experiments/experiment_details.html"):`

Try the `TEMPLATE_DIRS` setting to add the directory.

by default its commented so should I uncomment and add the dir of the new project to that..?

SocialQA (2013-12-09 14:06:54 -0600) edit

Look into the Django documentation for that info.

Try adding your template directory to setting TEMPLATE_DIRS.

Also, if you put your templates inside the askbot/templates it should work if you do something like this:

from django.shortcuts import render
return render(request, 'experiments/template.html', template_data)

In the current setting TEMPLATE_DIR is commented and there is a note saying read: http://askbot.org/en/question/2669/jinja-includes-and-extends-path-issue/ based on that looks like if I turn on TEMPLATE_DIR entire askbot TEMPLATES will change because it will try to read the tempaltes from that location..? But all I want is templates related to the new app to read from that location.

I want to add following to base.html so this script would be available in all the templates: Is it ok to add such things to base.html. <script language="javascript" src="{% get_static_prefix %}javascripts/experiments.js" type="text/javascript"> {% include "experiments/include/experiment_enrollment.html" %}

SocialQA (2013-12-09 14:26:14 -0600) edit

Sure, why not.

Evgeny (2013-12-09 14:26:55 -0600) edit

can you confirm on one thing: If I put the template path of the application that I have added inside askbot folder to TEMPLATE_DIR, entire askbot will use that location instead of askbot/templates?

SocialQA (2013-12-09 14:31:08 -0600) edit

if the experiments is inside askbot should I be adding {% include "askbot/experiments/include/experiment_enrollment.html" %} or experiments/include/experiment_enrollment.html
