13609	Using a non existent template in admin.Inlines produce error when posting the form	Lucio Asnaghi	Jonas Obrist	"I'm using some Staked and Tabular Inline with a custom template.

{{{
class AppointmentInline(InlineAutocompleteAdmin):
    model = Appointment
    extra = 0
    template = 'my/non/existent/template/tabular.html'
}}}

When the template i'm specifying doesn't exists, the inlines doesn't show up in the admin change_form (no error is produced even in DEBUG mode): this way when i post the form data to save the model, i always get an error:

I think when resolving the template of an inline, django should at least report with an error that the specified template doesn't exists."		closed	contrib.admin	1.2-beta		fixed	Inline custom template ValidationError ManagementForm data missing tampered		Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
