Hm, this might be something. I never thought of viewing the source for my HTML page. Actually, what I get when I do that is the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet <goog_2069433266>.css" type="text/css" /> And then when I click on the "stylesheet.css" hyperlink, I get what looks like another source page, but this one is some kind of error page (just to clarify in case it's necessary, the page http://127.0.0.1:8000/view/ is the original view my question was referring to, the one that isn't showing any of the desired CSS): <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>Page not found at /view/stylesheet.css</title> <meta name="robots" content="NONE,NOARCHIVE"> </head> <body> <div id="summary"> <h1>Page not found <span>(404)</span></h1> <table class="meta"> <tr> <th>Request Method:</th> <td>GET</td> </tr> <tr> <th>Request URL:</th> <td>http://127.0.0.1:8000/view/stylesheet.css</td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="info"> <p> Using the URLconf defined in <code>project.urls</code>, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: </p> <ol> .... (LIST OF URL PATTERNS) ..... </ol> <p>The current URL, <code>view/stylesheet.css</code>, didn't match any of these.</p> </div> <div id="explanation"> <p> You're seeing this error because you have <code>DEBUG = True</code> in your Django settings file. Change that to <code>False</code>, and Django will display a standard 404 page. </p> </div> </body> </html> It looks like it's trying to open a page called http://127.0.0.1:8000/view/stylesheet.css that I didn't include in my URL conf. Is this what I'm missing? Do I need such a page in order for Django to be able to use "stylesheet.css" while running the dev server? And if so, how do I create it (aside from writing a URL pattern in the urls.py file)? Finally, I have another question. In my settings.py file, there is actually no section for TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS. I have noticed in the documentation that it seems like it's supposed to be in the settings.py file, but mine doesn't have such a section (nor do I remember it ever being there). Should I just add it in? thanks, Guillaume On Tue, Nov 22, 2011 at 6:56 PM, Ivo Brodien <[email protected]> wrote: > Does your generated HTML source say: > > <link rel="stylesheet" href=“/static/stylesheet.css" > type="text/css" /> > > ?? > > In your settings the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS > > should have: > > “django.core.context_processors.static” > > The CSS File should go into a folder: myapp/static/stylesheet.css > > > urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() > > I think you don’t need this.
