title: FeinCMS Initial Installation: Templates
body: <p>So I am trying to get FeinCMS up and running and I have it working on the backend but I cannot get a page to load:</p>
  
  <p>this is how my models.py is setup:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Page.register_templates({
      'title': _('Standard template'),
      'path': 'base.html',
      'regions': (
          ('main', _('Main content area')),
          ('sidebar', _('Sidebar'), 'inherited'),
          ),
      })
  
  Page.create_content_type(RichTextContent)
  Page.create_content_type(MediaFileContent, TYPE_CHOICES=(
      ('default', _('default')),
      ('lightbox', _('lightbox')),
      ))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error I get is </p>
  
  <pre><code>TemplateDoesNotExist at /test/
  
  zipfel/base.html
  
  Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
  
  Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
  Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
      /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/zipfel/base.html (File does not exist)
      /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/zipfel/base.html (File does not exist)
      /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admindocs/templates/zipfel/base.html (File does not exist)
      /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/feincms/templates/zipfel/base.html (File does not exist)
      /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mptt/templates/zipfel/base.html (File does not exist)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I understand that if I put a base.html file in either of those directories it should work.  </p>
  
  <p>2 questions:</p>
  
  <p>What does the base.html contents need to be?
  In order to be able to place the base.html in the app folder do I have to add that path to TEMPLATE_DIRS? </p>
  
  <p>The FeinCMS installation has been rather tricky for me thus far </p>
