Okay,
I think I am still doing something wrong.
So, I went ahead and sent my MEDIA_ROOT to my filepath for my template
folder as below:
MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/Documents and Settings/Nserc2/My Documents/
mytemplates/media'
Then I set
MEDIA_URL = /mymedia/
You also mentioned to activate the appropriate context processor. I
didn't have any TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR in my settings file to
begin with so I added the lines:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
"django.core.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media"
)
So, I saved settings.py and edited my base.html file to have
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% block stylesheet
%}http://localhost:8000/mymedia/css/base.css{% endblock %}" >
in the <head>
I can view a page that uses base.html fine. The problem that I am
having is that when I view a page that uses my base.html file, it
doesnt have the styling that I laid out in the css file. I think the
problem is how I am refering to the path of my css file.
I also tried
http://localhost:8000/mymedia/css/base.css
in my browser's, which i thought ought to get me to the file, and
received a 404 error.
Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry if what I am explaining is still
unclear.
