[Loc-ndnp-mail] Template help

[Karen E. <kes...@uo...>]

Hi all,

I've started working on moving our Oregon template customizations from 
the old system (prior to hackathon release) to the new one, and I've run 
into a bunch of basic errors. The main thing is that I think I must be 
in the wrong place to start with.

I've found two copies of the templates:
/opt/chronam/lib/python2.6/site-packages/chronam_loc
/opt/chronam/data/memorious/chronam_loc

I've found one place for media files (images and css):
/opt/chronam/data/memorious/media

If I edit the templates in memorious, no changes are reflected on the 
website. I have successfully edited the templates in the site-packages 
directory.  If I make changes to the css files (only located in 
memorious), they aren't reflected on the website. Nor can I get new 
images to show up even following the same paths in the current template 
files.

In the old system, I had written out a three step directions to make new 
pages:
1) create the page in templates
2) define in views.py (views/static.py in new system)
3) set up link definition (urls.py)

Adding pages in the new system with this process just results in 404 
errors with either template directory.

I also tried creating a chronam_or folder for fun and adjusting the 
setup.py, but that didn't work.

It took me minutes to figure this out in the old system by going to the 
web directory, reading a little on django, and editing files. I've now 
spent days editing different files to no avail.

Please advise.

Thanks!
