title: django 1.9 + customizing admin interface
body: <p>I am using Django1.9 &amp; trying to override admin interface. </p>
  
  <p>I referred following link to override admin header</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4938491/django-admin-change-header-django-administration-text
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As mentioned in post, my directory/file structure is 
  src->templates->admin->base_site.html</p>
  
  <p>base_site.html</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% extends "admin/base.html" %}
  
  {% block title %}Personal Site{% endblock %}
  
  {% block branding %}
  &lt;h1 id="site-name"&gt;&lt;a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}"&gt;Control Panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
  {% endblock %}
  
  {% block nav-global %}{% endblock %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this page is not getting called. I copied base_site.html code from
  <a href="http://Github">https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html</a></p>
  
  <p>&amp; made changes in title. </p>
  
  <p>I know, I can configure admin header in django, but this is not I am looking for. My long-term goal is to configure entire admin UI. So please explain me how I can make this custom template page get called.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my template settings :</p>
  
  <pre><code>TEMPLATES = [
      {
          'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
          'DIRS': [
             os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates'),
          ],
          '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'
              ]
          },
      },
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks
