I am trying to enable Django templating in 1.10 and it is not behaving correctly. Anything I have referenced to be called from the static files (./manage.py collectstatic) is not showing where referenced in the html.
I have it imported in my views:
from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response
from django.http import HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.template import loader
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .models import Question
from django.template.context_processors import csrf
from django.conf.urls.static import static
here is my urls.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^games/', include('games.urls')),
url(r'^accounts/', include('allauth.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]+static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
My settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"static")
and some examples from my base.html
{% load static %}
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/jquery.fullpage.min.css' %}"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static '/css/hostedit.css' %}" />
<script type='text/javascript' src="{% static 'js/headerscripts.js' %}"></script>
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="57x57" href="{% static 'img/ico/apple-touch-icon-57x57.png' %}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="60x60" href="{% static 'img/ico/apple-touch-icon-60x60.png' %}">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="72x72" href="{% static 'img/ico/apple-touch-icon-72x72.png' %}">
I have tried putting my files in games/static/games/img like the django documentation suggests. But I have also tried to work with /games/static/img but neither seem to work. Using the web inspect tool i get a few 404 errors on the called images and JS.
Is there something I am missing with 1.10 ?
You have issue in your settings file. Use that settings for static files.
# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles', # it's is used for static files
]
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), 'static'),
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
In your template you can load image like
{% load staticfiles %} # register static tag
<img class="img-portfolio img-responsive" src="{% static 'img/portfolio-1.jpg' %}">
This image should be available in that directory structure 'static/img/portfolio-1.jpg'.
Urls.py should look like this.
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^$', index, name='index'),
url(r'^auths/', include('auths.urls')),
url(r'^quiz/', include('quizes.urls'))
]
please update your urls accordinlgy. This is just an example.
