How will I connect my index.html to my views.py?

Question

I tried doing this:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.shortcuts import render

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'templates/index.html')

But my page says that TemplateDoesNotExist.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Create a folder 'justcolor' under templates directory and save index.html in it. change path to 'justcolor/index.html'. return render(request, 'justcolor/index.html')

Answer 2

Make sure you have configured urls.py and views.py correctly.

This question is already answered here: Django TemplateDoesNotExist?

Answer 3

Make a templates\justColor subdirectory template inside your justColor folder and move index.html to there. Then as @Neeraj said you can change render call to render(request, 'justColor/index.html') .
