Comment (by hernandocounty):
Customizing your project’s templates
Create a templates directory in your project directory. Templates can live
anywhere on your filesystem that Django can access. (Django runs as
whatever user your server runs.) However, keeping your templates within
the project is a good convention to follow.
Open your settings file (mysite/settings.py, remember) and add a
TEMPLATE_DIRS setting:
mysite/settings.py
TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]
TEMPLATE_DIRS is an iterable of filesystem directories to check when
loading Django templates; it’s a search path.
Now create a directory called admin inside templates, and copy the
template admin/base_site.html from within the default Django admin
template directory in the source code of Django itself
(django/contrib/admin/templates) into that directory.
this is what I tried along with these solutions also.
i tried these solutions from earlier versions
# TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,
'/home/<username>/dev/09292014/stocks_day1/templates/')]
TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/home/<username>/dev/09292014/stocks_day1/templates',)
these i placed in settings.py after trying the method in the tutorial.
Thanks
Doug
