Django Vintage looks for all of its templates within a directory named vintage. Typically you will create this directory in your project’s primary template directory, but as long as it is in one of your TEMPLATE_DIRS it should work.
The default template is named default.html and should reside within the vintage directory.
Make your vintage default template extend from your project’s base template. Override the appropriate blocks and insert the context variables so they render properly. Here is an example:
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block head_title %}
{{ object.title }}
{% endblock head_title %}
{% block head_metadata %}
<meta name="description" content="{{ object.metadata.description }}" />
<meta name="keywords" content="{{ object.metadata.keywords }}" />
<meta name="author" content="{{ object.metadata.author }}">
<!--Facebook Metadata /-->
<meta property="fb:page_id" content="{{ object.metadata.page_id }}" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{{ object.metadata.image }}" />
<meta property="og:description" content="{{ object.metadata.description }}"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="{{ object.metadata.title }}"/>
<!--Google+ Metadata /-->
<meta itemprop="name" content="{{ object.metadata.title }}">
<meta itemprop="description" content="{{ object.metadata.description }}">
<meta itemprop="image" content="{{ object.metadata.image }}">
{% endblock head_metadata %}
{% block content %}
{{ object.content }}
{% endblock content %}
Based on the URL of the requested page, it looks for the most specific to the most generic: For example, a vintage page with the the URL path: /articles/2010/may/01/bigfoot-sighted/ would look for the following templates, in order:
The context for the template contains only object.
