How do I insert multiple blocks into the base.html in Django?
Question
Possibly I'm misunderstanding the inheritance of templates in Django, but why doesn't the below code work? Both child templates are inheriting from the parent template with different block names.
base.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
{% block index %}{% endblock %}
{% block nav %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
index.html
{% extends 'blog/base.html' %}
{% block index %}
<h1>This is the index.html page</h1>
{% endblock %}
nav.html
{% extends 'blog/base.html' %}
{% block nav %}
<h1>This is the nav.html</h1>
{% endblock %}
I am accessing this template by: urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('blog/', include('blog.urls'))
]
blog/urls.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name='home'),
path('nav/', views.home, name='nav')
]
blog/views.py
def home(request):
return render(request, 'blog/index.html')
Using the URL of:
localhost:8000/blog
HTML Output:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
<h1>This is the index.html page</h1>
</body>
</html>
I'm trying to grasp the concept of using multiple blocks so that I can place them on the templates that I need.

You can not render two views in one HTTP request. To include content from a different template, simply use include for the nav.html if its is not going to be called independently.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>test</h1>
{% include 'nav.html' %}
{% block index %}{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
