Django-invitations email template - django

Question

I'm using django-invitations to manage user invitation.
I can't find where I should put the template files email_invite_message.txt and email_invite_subject.txt
Here they talk about
Override email_invite_message.txt in django-invitations/invitations/templates/invitations/email/.
You can do this by creating the file in the same directory path in your project.
or
Yeah, if this isn't clear, you can create an .html file in your project at {projectroot}/{app}/templates/invitations/email/email_invite_message.html and it will override the default template.
But the first one didn't work for me and I can't figure out what {app} should be.

Answer 1

You can override any third-party application templates by creating replacement files in your project’s templates directory as indicated in the docs here.
In your settings.py file edit the TEMPLATES var, specifically the 'DIRS' key
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
...
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [BASE_DIR + '/core/templates'],
'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',
],
},
},
]
let's suppose you have an app named core, edit the settings as in the previous example and put the new files in this way (for this particular app):
core/
/templates
/invitations
/email
email_invite_message.html
email_invite_subject.html
__init__.py
admin.py
apps.py
models.py
tests.py
