Re: [mezzanine-users] Where's admin/base.html?

[Stephen McDonald]

Mezzanine doesn't provide it - either django.contrib.admin or grappelli-safe (if installed, which is by default) will provide it.

Hi

I'm looking at the templates in core/templates/admin and in base_site.html, it extends admin/base.html. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks!

I see. So how does django know that admin/base.html refers to the one in django.contrib.admin or grappelli-safe rather than one provided by Mezzanine?

Thanks

Assuming that you have a standard setup, my understanding is that first it will look in your project's templates directory.  From their it will look through the template directories of any app in INSTALLED_APPS, starting with the first one.  At any point that it finds a matching template it will use it and stop looking.  For a more thorough discussion of that look here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#loader-types, specifically at the section about the app_directories loader.
