I'm new to django and python, and decided to follow up the available
tutorials to get up to speed. These were helpful and got me on my feet but
while finishing up the tutorial i hit a major snag. While everything was
working properly using custom views, i can't seem to make my app load the
correct templates after switching to generic views.
Here's the code:
#urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic import DetailView, ListView
from polls.models import Poll
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$',
ListView.as_view(
queryset=Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
context_object_name='latest_poll_list',
template_name='polls/index.html')),
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
DetailView.as_view(
model=Poll,
template_name='polls/detail.html')),
url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/results/$',
DetailView.as_view(
model=Poll,
template_name='polls/results.html'),
name='poll_results'),
url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'polls.views.vote'),
)
The way i decided (perhaps wrongly) to organize my apps and templates is as
follows:
Template dir as defined in settings.py:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/home/my_user/Webdev/Templates/', # this is where i'm
storing my templates at the moment
App location: /home/my_user/Webdev/Django-lessons/pollproject/polls
If i try to access the polls app directly by using the URL:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ i now get an error message stating that:
TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/
index.html, polls/poll_list.html
I realize this might have something to do with where i decided to store my
templates (made more sense at the time to store them separately since i
thought i could use different templates for the same app, for different
purposes).
This is probably a basic issue but any help regarding this would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks!
