Atom not recognizing that it's a django html template; defaults to standard HTML when file is opened about django-atom

[lymanjohnson]

Hey guys, I found a solution to this problem. It involves using a different package similar to this one and tweaking the settings.

Step 1:
Disable django-atom and install 'django-templates instead

Step 2:
Go to your config.cson file (which you can get to by clicking on the "Atom" tab in the top bar and selecting "Config") and add the lines:

"django-templates":
    defaultToDjangoTemplatesForFilePathsContaining: [
      "*.html"
    ]

Put that block at the end of the file and make sure it's one indent in. If in doubt just format it similarly to the other pacakge configurations that are probably already in that file.

ty very much for the tip ! I actually discovered the "django-templates" package suits me better because of the way you can bind it to choosen projects, as I also need standard html templates simultaneously. You're the man !

I have the same problem! Has anyone found a solution?

Up ! I just installed django-atom and it doesn't recognize .html django template as well as specific django syntax in .py files. Anyone has a solution ?

Same issue here. Doesn't seem like the dev is following the issues on github though =(

I have tried what you are saying but does not work, all of the Django packages appear to have been abandoned which makes me have to go back to using Sublime or VSCode when it comes to Django projects because manually changing the file type each time I open an html template.

file extension needs to be html.django for this to work otherwise you will need to change the code to work properly. Under code remove the django from snippets and settings to force to work with just html extension, but some shortcuts may collide with html addons

Step 1:
install 'django-templates

This is all I did, then changed the file syntax to "html (Django)" and it worked! Thank you!
