Template in Django not found - django

Question

In the code below, my problem is that template file 'UserAccount' is not found. I set the app in the settings and create a directory in the app and an html file in the directory.
from django.shortcuts import render
# Create your views here.
def login(request):
context = {}
return render(request, 'UserAccount/login.html', context)

Answer 1

this should be your settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# django essentials
"django.contrib.admin",
...
# my apps
"myapp", #the app name is "myapp"
]
...
TEMPLATES = [
{
"BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
"DIRS": [str(BASE_DIR.joinpath("template"))], # change this line in your settings
"APP_DIRS": True,
"OPTIONS": {
"context_processors": [
"django.template.context_processors.debug",
"django.template.context_processors.request",
"django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages",
],
},
},
]
now create a directory in the same directory as your apps. sth like this:
myapp
app_two
template
...
now in template directory create another directory with the name of your app. in tha t put your html fiels. like this:
| myapp
| app_two
| template
|----myapp
|----sth.html
|----sth_2.html
|----app_two
now when you want to reference them do it like this:
return render(request, 'myapp/sth.html', context)
