title: Django templates folders
body: <p>I'm experimenting with Django, and figuring out how to set <strong>urls.py</strong>, and how the URLs work.
  I've configured <strong>urls.py</strong> in the root of the project, to directs to my blog and admin.
  But now I want to add a page to my home, so at <code>localhost:8000</code>.</p>
  
  <p>So I've added to following code to the <strong>urls.py</strong> in the root of the project:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
  
  urlpatterns = patterns('',
      (r"^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "base.html"}),
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that it searches for the template in <strong>blog/templates/...</strong>
  Instead of the templates folder in my root. Which contains the <strong>base.html</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Full <strong>urls.py</strong>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
  from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
  
  # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
  from django.contrib import admin
  admin.autodiscover()
  
  
  urlpatterns = patterns('',
      (r"^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "base.html"}),
      url(r'^blog/', include('hellodjango.blog.urls')),
      url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
      url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
      (r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I overlooking something?</p>
