How to make base template use static files and to make other templates that inherits base template to use same static files?
As I read in django documentation it writes about how to use static files that are used for specific app. But I can't seem to find a way to make it use static files from outside app.
Given app inherits everything, but static files.
My settings.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.
)
# List of finder classes that know how to find static files in
# various locations.
STATICFILES_FINDERS = (
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder',
'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',
# 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder',
)
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'south',
'myproject.apps.finance',
'myproject.apps.base',
'django.contrib.admin',
)
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
'django.core.context_processors.debug',
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
'django.core.context_processors.static',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
)
This is my current homepage settings:
url for homepage:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from myproject.views import hello
urlpatterns = patterns('',
('', hello),
)
view of homepage:
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.http import Http404, HttpResponse
import
