I have a django page and I add various js dependencies on multiple pages. For example, on page 1 and 2 I have table that I want to sort. So I include following code in both pages.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap-sortable.css' %}">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'js/bootstrap-sortable.js' %}"></script>
Let's say, on page 3 and 4 I have nvd3 graphs. So I include following code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/d3/3.5.6/d3.min.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/nvd3/1.7.0/nv.d3.js"></script>
<link href="{% static 'js/nvd3-master/build/nv.d3.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap-sortable.css' %}">
If I need to edit src url of these dependencies, I have to edit all pages containing them separately.
I would like to define variables on js and css static files, so I do not have to edit them multiple times, but just once.
Something like this:
bootstrap_sortable_css = """<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap-sortable.css' %}">"""
bootstrap_sortable_js = """<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'js/bootstrap-sortable.js' %}"></script>"""
And then just print it in my template:
<html>
<head>
{{bootstrap_sortable_css}}
</head>
<body>
content
{{bootstrap_sortable_js}}
</body>
</html>
Is there any standard for this I did miss?
You might want to use block. Block is used for template inheritance. So, you can have 1 root template file, then all your pages just need to inherit the root template.
You can define A css and js block like this.
<html>
<head>
{% block css %}
{% endblock css %}
</head>
<body>
content
{% block js %}
{% endblock js %}
</body>
</html>
Then, you can override the block on your page template based on your page needs.

the issue is that the CSS is not loaded/applied.
In the web-console (when I run python manage.py runserver) and go to the "options" page, then I can see that the webpage/base.css is loaded (i.e GET /static/webpage/base.css is printed), but the webpage/options.css is not.
I thought I had something wrong in the static- path, but if I move the
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'webpage/options.css' %}"> into my base.html(and go to my home page) then I see that GET /static/webpage/options.css is now printet and the css in there indeed takes effect.
Why can it be that it is not loaded in the options.html file? Note, this question is not about CSS changes not taking effect (untill hard-refresh, cache clear etc.) but it seems like the file simply isn't getting loaded
When an HTML file extends another, it needs all its content in blocks, that it can insert into the base.html - otherwise it doesn't know where to put it.
In this case you'd want to create something like
base.html
<head>
...
{% block htmlhead %}
{% endblock htmlhead %}
</head>
And then include that block in your options.html
{% block htmlhead %}
{% load static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'webpage/options.css' %}">
{% endblock htmlhead %}
According to the Template inheritance documentation, I believe that these three paragraphs explains everything.
All the block tag does is to tell the template engine that a child
template may override those portions of the template.
The extends tag is the key here. It tells the template engine that
this template “extends” another template. When the template system
evaluates this template, first it locates the parent – in this case,
“base.html”.
At that point, the template engine will notice the three block tags in
base.html and replace those blocks with the contents of the child
template.
So basically, when you extend a skeleton, only the parts inside the blocks are replaced, everything else is ignored.
In order to do what you want, you need another block inside your base.html header, and use it in your options.html.
I have index.html file in template file and I have js, css, image, files in my static file. I am writing the codes correctly, but the site does not appear properly. Animations, images and text are not in the correct place. (In fact, the logo of the project I used to work with appears in this project. Both are called "logo.png", I think pycharm is confusing the codes. But I opened my project with Visual Studio Code, and the logo of my old project appeared again. Why is this happening? Do I need to delete something?)

I shared important parts of HTML codes
This is what the site looks like
But it should look like this
I hope I was able to explain what my problem was. I will be glad if you help me
The problem seems to be that you might not be reseting the cache. Browsers store caches to make the website run faster, so even though you made changes to the static files(like CSS, js or images), your browser uses the old CSS which is cached. One way to fix this issue during development is to hard refresh, ctrl + shift + r to clear CSS related caches and crtl + F5 for js related files, alternatively you can disable cache in your browser. In development we use versioning to counter this issue. I hope this resolves your issue.
I am using a bootstrap index file in the header.html in a django project. Can anyone point out a fix or the easiest method to link the bootstrap file to the static folder. In what places does it need to be done, and how?
Also, for use of bootstrap, could I just use the index file rather than header?
I can see the error (below) but do not know the syntax to fix it. The route i've tried is using Jinja logic and it is on that line that the first error arises. (line 14)
Current error:
Error during template rendering
In template C:\Users\User\Desktop\pythonsite\mysite\aboutme\templates\aboutme\header.html, error at line 14
Invalid block tag on line 14: 'static'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?

Update:
I changed the static and use of jinja to simply what it was originally in the bootstrap index file: e.g.
<link href="vendor/magnific-popup/magnific-popup.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
and this worked in that it ran the webpage, but without CSS>
I still cannot figure out how to link the css from this index page to the templates folder and how/where what syntax.
Current site structure:
The name of the folder is "aboutme" (name of main app)
Inside it is the static folder.
Inside the static folder, I have dropped the entire contents of the bootstrap download (e.g. the fonts, css and js folders)
I have the templates folder in which I have the aboutme folder and in that is are the header.html and home.html. The header.html is the file that I am using (below), trying to reference the css/js etc so the site looks and displays correctly.
Do I simply use:
<link href="/static/vendor/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
instead of
<link href="vendor/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
and do I do this in each case? Or should I be using jinja logic?
Somewhere (anywhere) before that, put in
{% load static %}
The first thing is to load the static, for that we use the following:
{% load static %}
To call any static file, it would be like this:
<link href="{% static 'FILE PATH' %}" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="{% static 'FILE PATH' %}"></script>
Example:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Anything</title>
<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
<link href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- Font Awesome -->
<link href="{% static 'css/font-awesome.min.css' %}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<!-- Bootstrap JS -->
<script src="{% static 'js/bootstrap.min.js' %}"></script>
</body>
</html>
If you have a base template and you want to extend the other templates, you should use the following:
{% extends 'BASE FILE PATH' %}
What will be the best stage in Django to append file timestamp to all urls which start with /static/?
Example URLs:
http://mydomain.com/static/css/...
http://mydomain.com/static/img/...
http://mydomain.com/static/js/...
Is there an app which does that and that will work with Mercurial VCS?
You can try django-compressor
This app combines several CSS/JS files to the one file. And generates unique name for that file. For example:
{% load compress %}
{% compress css %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/one.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8">
<style type="text/css">p { border:5px solid green;}</style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/two.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8">
{% endcompress %}
Result will be something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/CACHE/css/f7c661b7a124.css" type="text/css" charset="utf-8">
i an doing exactly the same Django admin datepicker calendar and clock img
and i am suffering with the same problem but it was working perfectly fine with django 1.4 but when i updated it to django 1.5 it is giving me this error
'adminmedia' is not a valid tag library: Template library adminmedia not found, tried django.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.admin.templatetags.adminmedia,django.contrib.humanize.templatetags.adminmedia,jobpost.templatetags.adminmedia,crispy_forms.templatetags.adminmedia,tinymce.templatetags.adminmedia,haystack.templatetags.adminmedia

by doing this i am showing image of calender widget from /static/admin/img/icon_calender.jpg.
but admin media option is deprecated in django version 1.5 or later so then i replace this with static media option and here is the new code:
{% load staticfiles %}
{% load i18n %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/base.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/global.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/widgets.css"/>
<link href="{% static 'admin/css/login.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
and it look like this:
my calender icon is gone. can anyone tell me whats the alternative of this problem in version 1.5
help will be appreciated
The response is right here, in the 1.5 release notes: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.5-beta-1/#miscellaneous
The {% admin_media_prefix %} became deprecated, you must remove it from your templates. (Included every {% load adminmedia %}, which causes the exception). There must be a setting which replace this tag I guess.
so django 1.5 was giving me nightmare so i resolved my problem by using direct jquery datpicker here is the jquery datepicker
all i had to do is change the id which is a little bit tricky in django .for example if your date field name is start_date then id will be formtools_start_date . and for this kind of datepicker you don't even need any icon to show.. this helped me i hope this will help those also whoever upgraded their django version.
I just had this problem today - not being able to load admin base.css. I upgraded Django for my site from v1.2 to v1.5 and encountered the issue. I found that the href is /static/admin/css/base.css and could not find out how to change it. So I did these:
Copied site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/* to my Django project's static directory so it would be like
top/
static/
admin/
css/
js
images
Editted urls.py, added the following line in the urlpatterns = patterns('',...
(r'^static/(?P.*)$','django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes':True}),
That's it. It worked.
