Django’s template dirs are specified as absolute paths in settings.py:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)
But since this is just Python code, it is relatively easy to specify relative paths (no pun intended). As described in this blog, add the following code to settings.py:
import os
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
And then in the TEMPLATE_DIRS section you can specify a relative path like this:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'templates')
)
