how can i use path Django for locating and loading templates? Django 3.2

Question

in django3.2 I was trying this to uses for locating and loading templates? but doesn't work with me

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ` [BASE_DIR / 'templates']`,
    }

default setting was like :

`from pathlib import Path`

# Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent 

Any clue of what might be the problem?

Answer 1

try using

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    }

Answer 2

if you want to change your template path, you can using this in your settings.py, for example i have a "templates" directory for my templates in root of project:

    TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
    },
]

Answer 3

Try this edit in your Django settings.py

TEMPLATES_DIR=BASE_DIR / 'templates'(line-17)
'DIRS':[TEMPLATES_DIR,],(line-58)

Answer 4

If your settings location is under directory like

~/proj/proj/settings/local.py

then BASE_DIR should have one more .parent.

Then your DIRS settings won't need any fixing.
