app_dirs must not be set when loaders is defined about django-admin-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

In Django 1.10 you cannot have "APP_DIRS" setting simultaneously with 'loaders' option set in "Templates".

The solution, in my case at least, was to remove 'APP_DIRS':True, but make sure include 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader' in the 'loaders' option under 'Templates'. These two settings are one in the same.
For more info on Djanog Template Loaders see here

This is not a django-admin-tools issue, you probably didn't set the django templates loaders setting correctly.

Make sure you have django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader and django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader in your template loaders.

This would be useful in the documentation. It's very messy in the configuration section and this clarified it for me a lot. Thanks for this post.

Thanks for explanation.

TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
'loaders' : (
'admin_tools.template_loaders.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
),
},
},
]
I did everything as you advised the man above, but still gives indintichnuyu error. Virtualenv use, just using Django 1.10 and the latest release of your Django-admin Tools
