Application order effects template loading/overriding

[Benjamin.Encz@…]

I am not sure if it was mentioned in the documentation, but it is necessary to list the custom app before the django apps in settings.py to make the overriding of the admin template work:

INSTALLED_APPS = (

'polls',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',

)

Someone else had this problem before, which saved me a lot of time here:

Maybe it would be worth pointing that out in the documentation?

For now update of tutorial would be sufficient.

If you ​re-read that section of the tutorial carefully, you'll note that you need to put the admin custom templates in the *project's* template folder, not the polls/templates folder.

There is already #20914 open to clarify the ordering issue in the general case, so I'm going to close this ticket.
