How can i include my template from the static folder in django

Question

I have the djnago app structure like

myproject/myapp

myproject/myapp/static/site/app/index.html

I want to include that template in my file like this

url(r'^public$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="/static/site/app/index.html")),

but it says template not found

Answer 1

 import os
 import sys

 PORJECT_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__),'..')
 sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT,'static'))

Answer 2

确保文件夹包含在TEMPLATE_DIRS设置中（位于settings.py中）。

Answer 3

Generally(by convention) template files folder is project_root_folder\\templates folder, update TEMPLATE_DIRS in settings.py:

import os
PORJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(PORJECT_ROOT, 'templates'),
)

While static store only javascript/css/images fiels.

That will make future develop and deploy easier.

Answer 4

BY default django checks in app/templates directory for a template match, or in the project_root/templates/. You should have the directory listed in the TEMPLATE_DIRS setting as others have stated.
