A simple example of Django and CSS

Question

I\'m new to Django, and am trying to set up a really simple Django app.

Now, I\'m up to chapter 5 in the Django online book : http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapte

Answer 1

finally i got after many days here is how should be done 1> you need your static file in your app along with in your project 2> here is setting.py

   if DEBUG:
   STATIC_ROOT = "/PycharmProjects/don/admin/shopping/static/css"

    STATICFILES_DIRS =(
     #os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR),"static","static"),
     os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
    )

3>views.py

        from django.views.generic import TemplateView
        class HomeView(TemplateView):
               template_name = 'index.html'

4> template file

       {% load staticfiles %}
        

5> urls.py

            from shopping.views import HomeView 
             from django.conf import settings
             from django.conf.urls.static import static
           urlpatterns = [
            url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
             url(r'^$', HomeView.as_view())
          ]
        if settings.DEBUG:
       urlpatterns+=static(settings.STATIC_URL,document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

6>     python manage.py collectstatic  

have fun :)
