Django-jet: 404 when attempting to reach jet dashboard

[kevin-miles]

Possible duplicate of #62 but there was no mention how the issue was resovled there.

Django 1.10
Django-jet 0.9.1
Python 3.5

I followed installation steps exactly and my files all match what is expected. However, if I try to reach /jet or /jet/dashboard:

The current URL, jet/dashboard/, didn't match any of these.

even though the URL patterns are displaying

^jet/ ^add_bookmark/$ [name='add_bookmark']
^jet/ ^remove_bookmark/$ [name='remove_bookmark']
^jet/ ^toggle_application_pin/$ [name='toggle_application_pin']
^jet/ ^model_lookup/$ [name='model_lookup']
^jet/ ^jsi18n/$ [name='jsi18n']
^jet/dashboard/ ^module/(?P\d+)/$ [name='update_module']
^jet/dashboard/ ^update_dashboard_modules/$ [name='update_dashboard_modules']
^jet/dashboard/ ^add_user_dashboard_module/$ [name='add_user_dashboard_module']
^jet/dashboard/ ^update_dashboard_module_collapse/$ [name='update_dashboard_module_collapse']
^jet/dashboard/ ^remove_dashboard_module/$ [name='remove_dashboard_module']
^jet/dashboard/ ^load_dashboard_module/(?P\d+)/$ [name='load_dashboard_module']
^jet/dashboard/ ^reset_dashboard/$ [name='reset_dashboard']
^jet/dashboard/ ^jsi18n/$ [name='jsi18n']

Hello @kevin-miles !

Why are you trying to load /jet/ or /jet/dashboard/ urls? JET replaces original Django admin (e.x. http://your-site.com/admin/). There are some additional JET's urls such as /jet/toggle_application_pin/, /jet/dashboard/add_user_dashboard_module/, etc., but you should't try to load them directly.

@f1nality I was assuming thats how it would work, but for some reason even after installation my admin remains the same. Any ideas why jet wouldnt replace it?

I do have custom admin templates already in place in my templates directory for previous customizations I did.

[f1nality]

That's the reason. JET has 3 template overrides (see https://github.com/geex-arts/django-jet/tree/master/jet/templates/admin). If you override them before JET, then it won't work. At least base.html should't be overriden or should have similar content https://github.com/geex-arts/django-jet/blob/master/jet/templates/admin/base.html. I recommend to override base_site.html instead if base.html and apply your modifications using block tag.

[kevin-miles]

Perfect, I have it up and running now after I removed my admin overrides.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate it.

Think it should be added to DOCS that if you have some template overrides it wont work. Some people will first do some overrides and then install this "theme". I did it also like that :)
