I think that you are missing the absolute path part of the code comment
* # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
*
This means that you cannot use 'lotus/...'
Usually you use code like
ABSOLUTE_PATH = '%s/'
%(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(locals()['__file__'])).replace('\\', '/'))
at the beginning of your settings.py file. Then you can write
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
*os.path.join(ABSOLUTE_PATH, 'lotus/pollapp/mysite/polls/**templates'),*
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or
"C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)
Remember that settings.py is a Python module, so you can use any valid
Python code.
Let me know if you succeed.
Cheers,

Ok, so i've copied the *base_site html* to*lotus/pollapp/mysite/polls/templates/admin
* . I've opened the html file in a text editor and changed
* <h1 id="site-name">{% trans 'Django administration' %}</h1>* to
*<h1 id="site-name">{% trans 'Pollapp' %}</h1>*
However this change doesn't show on the website. My *Template DIRS* is:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
*'lotus/pollapp/mysite/polls/templates',*
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or
"C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)
I've restarted the dev server and refreshed the website many times, but
still no change.
Any help with what i'm doing wrong?
