Using External HTML files in Django

[Santhosh sridhar]

Hi,

I have few html files which are not part of my django project templates directory. 

I want to render these html files as a response into some url.

Could someone help if you have any idea?

I tried using {% include %} and it gave TemplateDoesNotExist error.

Why not serving that specific URL with Nginx or Apache?

In your settings file try naming the directory where the html files exist so that Django's template engine knows to look there.

TEMPLATES = [
    ...
    {
        ...
        "DIRS":  ["./path/to/templates", "./path/to/htmlfiles", ...],
        ...
    },
]

Don't know if that will work if the html files are outside your project scope and there will be permissions to consider etc

Signed email is an absolute defence against phishing. This email has
been signed with my private key. If you import my public key you can
automatically decrypt my signature and be sure it came from me. Just
ask and I'll send it to you. Your email software can handle signing.
