djangocms template inheritance

Django-cms multiple inheritance does not work.

I have the following template structure:

base.html
    {% block content %}
    {% endblock content %}

page1.html
    {% extends "base.html" %}
    {% block test %}
    {% endblock test %}

page2.html
    {% extends "page1.html" %}
    {% block content %}
          <div>foo</div>
    {% endblock content %}
    {% block test %}
          <div>foo</div>
    {% endblock test %}

The problem is that the block test in page2 HTML is not rendered. Only the blocks from base.html are rendered. If I include block test in base.html is also gets rendered in page2

base.html is your top level template. This would normally be the thing that starts with an html doctype and ends with a </html> tag. Everything else has to have a place to go in there. All you have is a content block.

So where would the test block go? You've tried to put it in page1.html, but it still needs a place to go in the parent template.

Does your base.html contain {% block test %}?

Your base template must contain the block you want to override. You can add additional blocks in child templates, but they must be contained within a base block.

See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#template-inheritance
