how to include template

[Thiago Luiz Parolin]

I have a project that has a folder structure like this:

Project1 /
------Templates /
------------Base.html
------------Error.html
------App1
------------Templates /
------------------App1 /
------------------------App1.html

How can i include error.html in app1.html?

I am trying using {% include "../../../templates/error.html"%} but get error on page rendering:

The relative path '"../../../templates/error.html"' points outside the file hierarchy that template 'app1 / app1.html' is in.


I am totally new to django, python and programming.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

You need to set the template directories option in your project's settings file.

See here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/templates/#configuration

There's an example in the above link:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [
            '/home/html/example.com',
            '/home/html/default',
        ],
    },
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.Jinja2',
        'DIRS': [
            '/home/html/jinja2',
        ],
    },
]

Once Django is aware of where to search for templates, you can include templates from your project's templates directory as follows:

{% include "Error.html" %}

And you can include app templates as follows:

{% include "App1/App1.html" %}

Also, pay attention to capitalization of filenames, as "Error.html" and "error.html" are different files on many systems. I use all-lowercase to avoid issues.
