base.html template conflict

[sergeig...@gmail.com]

I have installed both oscar and mezzanine apps into the same project. I was able to see both working when isolated from the other.

oscar requires TEMPLATE_DIRS to have a custom location:

import oscar

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

    oscar.OSCAR_MAIN_TEMPLATE_DIR,

    os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, "templates"),

)

When oscar.OSCAR_MAIN_TEMPLATE_DIR is defined, it stops mezzanine from working, because oscar's base template is used for everything. Commenting out oscar line, enables mezzanine to work.

I checked and default loader order is:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (

    u'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',

)   u'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',

which explains this behavior.

I changed the loader order to:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (

    u'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',

    u'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',

)

and that stopped oscar from working, when TEMPLATE_DIRS is defined with both lines.

So, I am kind of confused how to address the issue. I know that in the long run I 'd like to use only one base.html for the entire site, but in the short run I'd like to see both working using their own default templates.

Thanks
