#9754 closed (fixed)

Documentation for overriding static directory-listing template incorrect

Description

The documentation at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/ says to use a template called "static/directory_index.html" to override the default template for directory listings. This doesn't work, however. Inspection of the code in /django/views/static.py indicates the template should be called "static/directory_index", which does work.

(In [9567]) [1.0.X] Fixed #9754: static-serving view now uses correct template name for directory indexes. Was [9566] in trunk.

This wasn't actually a documentation bug; once upon a time the template loader would treat 'static/directory_index' as 'static/directory_index.html', and apparently this code was not updated when the loader was tightened up to require the file extension.
