Hi,
I'm fairly new with Django and currently I'm only "playing around" to get a
better feeling for the framework.
I have read the documentation and almost all of the posts here about
configuring static files with the development server but can't get it
working.
I wanted to modify the admin login screen to show a company logo, so I
copied base_site.html to /templates/admin/ and added this:
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}logo.gif" />
This is how my directory structure looks like:
el_test
el_test
static
logo.gif
settings.py
urls.py
templates
admin
base_site.html
- Settings.py:
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
)
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
)
I also added the following to urls.py
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
The HTML in the admin logon screen looks like this, so basically the URL
seems to be OK
<div id="branding">
<img src="/static/logo.gif">
<h1 id="site-name">Test Admin</h1>
</div>
Calling http://localhost:8000/static/logo.gif directly shows a 404 error.
As far as I have understood this should work with the dev server and
debug=true without calling collectstatic
I have also tried moving the /static/ folder around various locations below
the project directory...
I'm sure there is only some small thing missing...
Any help is highly appreciated :-)
Thomas
