How can I override Django Admin page?

I've read many answers but I don't know what am I missing.
I did the same steps as they are mentioned in Django Docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/contrib/admin/#admin-overriding-templates) but nothing happened.
Here is my actual configuration :
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'app1.apps.App1Config',
'app2.apps.App2Config',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
ROOT_URLCONF = 'rida.urls'
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],#i modified this line
'APP_DIRS': False, #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': [
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
]
}
}
]
the contents of admin.py file of app1 :
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf.urls import url
from app1.models import Modele
admin.site.register(Modele)
I want to override the template base.html, so I copied it from django\contrib\admin\templates\admin and put it in myproject\templates\admin\app1, then I made some changes on this file but nothing happened, so I have no idea why it doesn't work and what am I missing.
thank you in advance.

Django static files not loading after serving files in cpanel using whitenoise

I tried serving my static files using whitenoise, but still not getting any of my css/js loading in my pages.
I ran collectstatic after enabling whitenoise and static folder was generated.
I tried using both
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
and django's ManifestStaticFilesStorage backend.
Here are my settings
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'whitenoise.runserver_nostatic',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.humanize',
'crispy_forms',
'classroom',
]
MIDDLEWARE = [
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]
ROOT_URLCONF = 'django_school.urls'
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
],
'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',
],
},
},
]
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'django_school.wsgi.application'
...
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'public/static'),
]
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'
This is how my project is structured
home

---->classroom
---->django-app
---->public

in my case putting my static folder in public_html solved.

Django static files can't be loaded on the google compute engine

I have run the python manage.py runserver command on my computer(windows 10) and it work but when I put all of codes on the google cloud platform compute engine(Ubuntu 16) and run the same command it shows all of the static files are not found. Do anyone knows how to fix it?

I would suggest reading this:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/howto/static-files/deployment/
It has specific and exact instructions on the expected deployment of static files.

Django - TemplateDoesNotExist at

I'm stucked on this problem. I've checked many advices here and on google but no way to get rid of this error.
It seems that Django does not check app/templates/* directory. It should be checked automatically, shouldn't it?

And here is the structure of the project:
Here is the error, as you can see, it does not check templates directory...

You need to add gw_app to your INSTALLED_APPS...
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'chart_tools',
'gw_app',
)

when i add new language to django, there was no error but dosnt show my translations. why?

my settings file is:
I create message files for the language kk-ar, kk-kz, kk-latn to translate. and these language codes for same langugae in defferent wrinting system. but that not suport in django settings, so I add it to settings, but when i run the server django not show my translation.
this why?

There are three steps to making translations work in Django:
Marking the strings as translatable
Creating the PO files
Compiling the PO files to MO files
The localization guide here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/i18n/translation/#how-to-create-language-files has a good step by step guide to the process.
