#28945 closed Bug (wontfix)

widgets.Input should support non-app custom template_names

Reported by: Jonas Haag Owned by: nobody

Description

If you make your own django.forms.widgets.Input subclass an overwrite the template_name argument, Django will only look in django/forms/templates/ and in your app dirs, but not in any templates defined in a settings.TEMPLATES[...]['DIRS'] dir.

class MyInput(widgets.Input):
    template_name = 'foo.html'

Even if I have spam/templates in DIRS, it won't look for spam/templates/foo.html.

We should at least document this.
