Hi, Templates are nothing more than HTML files with special tags inside. In their simplest form, they can be plain HTML without any templating tags and they will thus be rendered without any change.
In conclusion, to keep it simple and still let you the opportunity to benefit from templating features if ever the need arises in the future, let settings as they are and follow template view examples. The overhead will be minimal for such "static" templates since the engine provides a quite efficient preprocessing and caching mechanism and in any case, negligible compared to DB or network related stuff. Anyway, if for any reason you do not want to keep the templating engine in the path at all, your views can return basic HTTP responses containing static HTML data, either stored as constant strings in your code (not the cleanest option) or, better, as resources in your project (e.g. plain files somewhere they can be read from the app code).

Right now, my settings are: TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ] Thanks, Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
