Question

I'm getting the following error:

Template error

In template /home/mo/python/django/templates/yoga/index.html, error at line 1
Caught TemplateDoesNotExist while rendering: base.html
1 {% extends "base.html" %}
2 
3 {% block main %}
4     <p>{{ page.title }}</p>
5     <p>{{ page.info}}</p>
6     <a href="method/">Method</a>
7 {% endblock %}
8

this is my base.html file, which is located at the same place as index.html

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
    <div style="width:50%; marginleft:25%;">
    {% block main %}{% endblock %}
    </div>

what exactly is going on here? should the base.html file be located somewhere else?

Was it helpful?

Solution

"At the same place" as yoga/index.html means that the template is actually yoga/base.html.

OTHER TIPS

Assuming TEMPLATE_DIRS contains /home/mo/python/django/templates/, without the .../yoga/, so you need to:

move base.html into /home/mo/python/django/templates/

OR

write {% extends "yoga/base.html" %} in your template

Is base.html in a directory in the TEMPLATE_DIRS list in your settings file?

Base.html file must be located at the base of templates folder to use ' base.html ' , if located in another folder such as: templates / home / base.html , then you must specify the path using

{ % Extends ' home / base.html '% }
