Django - extend template from parent directory

Question

I have this templates structure:

dir1: base.html dir2: template.html

template.html must extend base.html:

{% extends '../dir1/base.html' %}

But it raises error:

Caught TemplateDoesNotExist while rendering: ../dir1/base.html

Answer 1

You should set template dir (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#template-dirs) in settings.py and then use {% extends 'dir/base.html' %}.
