I am trying to create base.html and load several child templates named "nav.html", "contents.html" and "footer.html" on the base. I want to make all three child templates be loaded on the base.html page Whenever I visit /base.html.
base.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="navbar">
<div class="nav">
{% block nav %}{% endblock %}
</div>
</nav>
<div class="content">
{% block contents %}{% endblock %}
</div>
<div class="footer">
{% block footer %}{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
nav.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block title %}Page Title{% endblock %}
{% block nav %}
<p>Here goes the nav</p>
{% endblock %}
contents.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block contents %}
<p>Here goes the contents</p>
{% endblock %}
footer.html:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block footer %}
<p>Here goes the footer</p>
{% endblock %}
Right now, my views.py looks like:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.template.response import TemplateResponse
def index(request):
return TemplateResponse(request, "main/base.html")
Which does not load any of the three child templates, and if I load one of the child templates like
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.template.response import TemplateResponse
def index(request):
return TemplateResponse(request, "main/nav.html")
I cannot load the other two child templates. How should I set the views.py file so that I can load all three child templates on base.html by loading only /base.html? (I think there is no location problem. Where I think I am stuck is how to properly set "views.py" to get the expected result.)
