Hi,
I am not to interrupt your question, actually I have the same problems
as you. It seems that Django comers suffer this problem so much.
I use Manager Static File as a guide, but still has problem.
1, Put your static files somewhere that staticfiles will find them
I set following in the setting.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# Additional locations of static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or
"C:/www/django/static".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
"E:/code/python/djangoBook/django-testapp-develop/static" #this is
only used in my local test
)
2, Make sure that django.contrib.staticfiles is included in your
INSTALLED_APPS<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#std:setting-INSTALLED_APPS>
.
So I set that:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# 'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.staticfiles', #this
'djangotoolbox',
'autoload',
'dbindexer',
'shape_practice',
# djangoappengine should come last, so it can override a few manage.py
commands
'djangoappengine',
)
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.request',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static', #this
)
3, You’ll probably need to refer to these files in your templates.
So I did this:
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}images/gauge_example.jpg" alt = "aa gauge
example" width = "390" height = "225" />
And, so someone pointed out that : using
RequestContext<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#django.template.RequestContext>,
so I dit that
def introduction(request):
t = loader.get_template('introduction.html')
c = RequestContext(request, {}) #this
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
The problem is that when I comment out
"E:/code/python/djangoBook/django-testapp-develop/static" in the
STATICFILES_DIRS , it has an error :
"NetworkError: 500 -
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/images/gauge_example.jpg";. When I didn't
commented out, it works. So I think STATICFILES_DIRS and STATIC_URL
actually works in
my app, the problem is that how to set it to the correct path. In my
case, I want to STATIC_URL can find my "static" folder which is in the
project home directory.
I was puzzled by this problem many days, right now I have no way but
to use local folder
"E:/code/python/djangoBook/django-testapp-develop/static" to code and
test in my PC.
Thanks.
