ExtendingTemplates
v1 v2 41 41 42 42 The trick is very simple - we add a new directory right at the end of TEMPLATE_DIRS which is the parent of all of the other directories. This has the effect of making every template file within our system uniquely addressable. Most of the time we will use the normal paths, but in the special case of wanting to extend a template with an over-riding version of itself we can reference its parent's full, unambiguous template path in the extends tag. 43 44 45 An alternative approach without using the parent directory trick: http://github.com/stephenmcd/django-overextends
