I know I have to be missing something simple - I've followed the instructions at this doc<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/>and have tried extending several different files from the admin site. I've placed an index.html in the <path to template dir>/admin/<name of my app>/ directory and tried to override the side bar like:
{% extends "admin/index.html" %} {% block sidebar %} <h1>This is a test in index.</h1> {% endblock %} <path to template dir> is the absolute path I've given via TEMPLATE_DIRS in settings.py. If I move my index.html to <path to template dir>/admin/ and remove the first line I see the h1 (and only that) that I have in my version of the file indicating that it is overriding the admin/index.html there. <name of my app> is the same exact thing that I gave to 'manage.py startapp'. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I am super-frustrated at this point because it seems like it should be so easy but it's not working at all.
