I'm using Ubuntu and Django 1.3.7. Following are the various relevant settings:
My directory structure:

urls.py
myapp/
__init__.py
forms.py
models.py

SETTINGS_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__)
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
...
'django.contrib.staticfiles'
)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(SETTINGS_ROOT, "static/")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
In my templates html file:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css">
Still, the pages don't show any images, css or js files. I've read the docs. But nothing helps. What else do I need to include/modify in order to get the files running?
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".

I'm trying to load my own customized CSS in Django but with no success. The weird thing is that the main CSS (style.css) is loading correctly.
Here is my base.html:
<!-- Main Style CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<!-- My Own Style CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/custom.css' %}">
My settings:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
STATIC_DIR,
]
My urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('cart/', include('cart.urls')),
path('payment/', include('payment.urls')),
path('orders/', include('orders.urls')),
# path('users/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),
path('', include('account.urls')),
path('', include('dma.urls')),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) + \
static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
Any help?
Thank you!
It won't work because you didn't specify a MEDIA_URL, so try this:
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/css/'
STATIC_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
STATIC_DIR,
]
where is located your custom css ? in which static folder ?
in project level static folder next to css/style.css ? in this case it should be loaded with no problem maybe you have a typo in the file name ?
in app static folder ?
in this case, i guess you need to add
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder'
)
refer to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATICFILES_FINDERS
Update
maybe you need to re-run the command below:
python manage.py collectstatic
so the new assets can be taken in consideration the next reload.
I want to write Django code into CSS style tag in HTML elements in order to get images from static directory. here is my original code
i tried with the below code
but this isn't worked for me, how can i solve this problem?
NB: i used {% load static %} to load all static files, css and js works fine but i became failed to do this.
First Add These Code In Your settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'myproject/static')
]
# Media settings
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
Then Add These Code In Your project urls.py
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Then add this line to your html
style="background-image: url({%static 'images/person_1.jpg' %});"
You can check if in your root project/settings.py has something like this:
STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),)
and then, in your root project/urls.py:
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [...] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
To be sure, make sure you restart your server after these changes.
In settings.py add this
STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]
try to convert style tags in this manner
style ="background-image:url(images/image_1.jpg)"
TO
style ="background-image:url('/static/images/image_1.jpg')"
I have implemented wagtail on my site and when I put it into production it is not finding the css or any images. I have run
python manage.py collectstatic
and all of my css is in a directory called static_files in the same directory as manage.py.
In base.py I have:
PROJECT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(PROJECT_DIR)
....
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static_files')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static_media")
On my development site BASE_DIR is the directory with static_files, but it does not seem to pick it up on the production site.
Is there any way that I can test to see where the production version is looking for the css, e.g in the HTML?
[Edit]
I have looked at the answers to this question and it does not address the core of my problem which is that certain essential code was not being called when DEBUG is set to False
You need to include the following code in urls.py in your project directory:
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
from django.conf.urls.static import static
...
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
For some reason this was in an if section under:
if setting.DEBUG = True
and I had DEBUG set to False. If I move it to the main body of the module, it works perfectly
In the references to the static assets in templates, be sure to use the {% static ... %} template tag (reference). In the references to media files in templates, be sure to prefix with {% get_media_prefix %} (reference). Also, I typically use the same final designator for both STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT (i.e. /static/, not /static/ for one and static_files for the other). Here is how I declare these variables:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, STATIC_URL.replace('/', ''))
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, MEDIA_URL.replace('/', ''))
I'm newbie in Django and I'm trying to find a way to load my css files in my project. Here is my settings.py file
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.django.GzipManifestStaticFilesStorage'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder",
#"django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder"
)
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
# Uncomment the following to make Django tests pass:
'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
'allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend',
)
I got a way to do it using the variable STATICFILES_DIRS, but it won't work together with the others similars variables.
What should I do to fix it?
EXTRA INFORMATIONS:
My base.html file static files call:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'style.css' %}" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'icomoon_style.css' %}" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" />
My folders disposal:
OntoLogica (main folder)
Ontologica (project folder)
static folder
icomoon_style.css
style.css
css folder
bootstrap.min.css
I found a way that solved my case. It was found in this site: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django-assets
What I've to do:
Add the line PROJECT_ROOT and the change the line STATIC_ROOT to:
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'staticfiles')
With this I could add the line STATICFILES_DIRS without any trouble:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static'),
)
It worked perfectly for me and I hope it helps someone else too. Thanks
set static path in a correct way. Get an idea from my project.
settings.py
import os
import sys
from os.path import abspath, dirname, join
sys.path.append(join(dirname(__file__), "../applications"))
PROJECT_ROOT = abspath(dirname(__file__))
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
MEDIA_ROOT = join(PROJECT_ROOT, '../media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = join(PROJECT_ROOT, '../static/')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
My structure of files:
Main directory
project dir
settings.py
urls.py
media
static folder.
As it says in the "Warning" section of the docs
This [STATIC_ROOT] should be an initially empty destination directory for collecting your static files from their permanent locations into one directory for ease of deployment; it is not a place to store your static files permanently.
So you should use STATICFILES_DIRS to point to your static files.
And lastly make sure that you use {% load staticfiles %} in your templates to load your static files.
I have a problem using css in my django template,
In my settings.py i have this :
BASE_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__) + '/')
STATIC_URL = BASE_DIR + '/static/'
In my paths I have the folder "static/css/home_css.css"
In my template home.html I have the link tag :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}css/home_css.css" media="all" />
but it doens't work in order to render de css.
If anybody knows what happens please
STATIC_URL shouldn't point to the path in the filesystem. STATIC_ROOT should.
import os
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
STATIC_URL = "/static/"
In your settings.py add 'django.core.context_processors.static', at TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS like in this example:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
'django.core.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
)
EDIT
And if you're working with the local dev-server you'll need something like this in your urls.py:
(r'static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': '%s' % os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 'static')}),
I solved it!
I put my directory static into aplication root path, and set
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
thanks
