[GeoNode-users] Template extension over multiple apps

[gkpetrak]

Hello Stefano,


You don't have to name site_base.html or index.html the base templates 
of your apps. You should name them in a way like: app1_base.html. So 
your directory tree will look like this:

-virtual_environment
-geonode
     -geonode
         -templates
             -base.html
             -index.html
-custom_project
     -app1
         -templates
             -app1_base.html (extends site_base.html which extends 
base.html)
             -app1_index.html (if It's required)(extends site_index.html 
which extends index.html)
     -app2
         -templates
-app2_base.html (extends site_base.html which extends base.html)
             -app2_index.html (if It's required) (extends 
site_index.html which extends index.html)


As GeoNode is composed of many apps see for example the directory 
structure of "layers" app


site_base.html and index_base.html is the  base template of your GeoNode 
project in order to customize your site.


Best Regards,

George
