[Fixed]-Aldryn django-cms adding template

For a standalone django CMS project, you can define your custom templates inside your settings.py by adding/extending the CMS_TEMPLATES variable.

Example:

CMS_TEMPLATES = (
    ('base.html', gettext('default')),
    ('2col.html', gettext('2 Column')),
    ('3col.html', gettext('3 Column')),
    ('extra.html', gettext('Some extra fancy template')),
)

See also http://docs.django-cms.org/en/develop/reference/configuration.html#cms-templates

Note that if you work on Aldryn, the templates have to be defined with the “Aldryn Desktop App”, since this setting is currently not getting read from the settings.py (this will be addressed soon).

However in your case, you could define the templates with the Desktop App, do a git pull locally and then insert your changes. After you’re done with development (locally), simply commit and push the changes to your test server again and it should be available there too.

Full disclosure: I work for Divio/Aldryn.
