Thanks. Perhaps that's related to the problem. TEMPLATE_LOADERS has this:
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'appmngr.load_app_template',
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',
)
Where the first entry is a custom template loader that doesn't appear
to know how to load something from my apps templates/admin dir. Are
the other 2 entries 'standard' loaders that would look for my
base_site.html (since I put full path to it in TEMPLATE_DIRS)?
