Forms does not search external template directories

[Guillaume Quenneville]

It seems like the new form templates ignores external template directories? (or I did something silly). It works for app's local template directory.

I created a test repo
​https://github.com/GuillaumeQuenneville/djangoform.git

Django finds home.html (parent template) but does not find the item_form.html template in the same dir.

Adding the form template to the test app's local templates folder fixes the discovery issue (rename item_form.html.bk -> item_form.html in repo)

As a test, I turned on the debugger before the render in the view. Calling render(request, 'home.html') returns a 200 and no error, calling form.render(template_name='home.html') says home.html not found, idem for form.render() saying item_form.html not found. So there is a difference in template discovery??

Form.render() uses ​Form.default_renderer when the renderer argument is not specified, and Form.default_renderer defaults to the ​FORM_RENDERER setting which defaults to ​`'django.forms.renderers.DjangoTemplates'`. If you want to render templates with customizations from your TEMPLATES setting, you should change the renderer to use the ​`TemplatesSetting` renderer at any of these levels.
