I buy a template and use it
I don't know how to change the layout when using a good template in Django.
The sidebar layout seems to be the default, but when I change it to another layout, the overall layout doesn't change. I have no idea where to look to change it.
A detailed and detailed answer would be appreciated.
To change the layout in a Django template, follow these steps:
Check the Base Template: Look for the main template file (usually base.html). This file controls the overall layout and structure (header, sidebar, footer).
Look for Layout-Related Blocks: In base.html, there may be blocks like {% block sidebar %} or {% block content %}. Modify these blocks or create new ones for different layouts.
Change Layout with Context Variables: If the layout is controlled by a context variable (e.g., layout = 'sidebar'), pass a different value from your view:
python
def view(request):
return render(request, 'template_name.html', {'layout': 'new-layout'})
CSS Classes: Check the CSS for layout-specific classes. For example, switching between .sidebar-layout and .full-width-layout could be handled by CSS or JavaScript.
Override in Child Templates: In specific templates, override blocks to change parts of the layout (e.g., no sidebar):
html
{% block sidebar %} <!-- Empty or custom content --> {% endblock %}
By following these steps, you can adjust the layout depending on your template structure. Gud luck. Candy Clicker

Hi,
May I know what layout you want to change? Are you trying to switch to a different demo layout?
By default, the layout provided is Demo 1. If you want to change the layout to a different demo, you can try these steps:
Visit the layout builder page for the demo you want to use. For example:
https://preview.keenthemes.com/metronic8/demo2/layout-builder.html
Here, you can configure the layout as needed and export the partials. This will include files like:
- Header
- Footer
- Sidebar (menu)
- Content area
Once you download the partial files, integrate them into your Django templates. Replace the existing layout files (e.g., master.html) with the new ones.
Make sure the required JS and CSS files for the new layout are added to your project. These assets are available in the HTML version of the template you purchased.
Thanks
