python - Django template doesn't render properly, just prints "{ % extends base % }" etc to the page -
i'm trying basic django template working on google app engine app (on local machine, not yet deployed, if matters), app acting has no idea how templates work. prints { % extends "base.html" %} webpage instead of using load template so:
although, views seem working otherwise, since "{{ message }}" @ least loads correct thing. feel i'm missing silly piece of information, i'm @ loss. i've been looking @ django documentation while , have no idea went wrong. here relevant code:
snippet of settings.py:
template_dirs = ( os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname( __file__ ), '..', 'hello/templates')) # put strings here, "/home/html/django_templates" or "c:/www/django/templates". # use forward slashes, on windows. # don't forget use absolute paths, not relative paths. ) in views.py:
from django import http django.shortcuts import render_to_response def home(request): return render_to_response('index.html', {'message':'hello world!'}) def form(request): return render_to_response('index.html', {'message':'this page have form.'}) in base.html (which in correct template_dirs path):
<head> <title>lunar spring</title> <meta charset="utf-8"> </head> <body> <div class="header"> website name </div> <div class="content"> { % block content %} { % endblock % } </div> </body> in index.html (also in correct path):
{ % extends "base.html" % } { % block content % } {{ message }} { % endblock % }
your django template syntax not correct, watch spaces between curly braces , percent sign.
for example, replace:
{ % extends "base.html" % } with:
{% extends "base.html" %}
