Django - strange behavior using static files

I am new to Django. I'm losing my mind trying to figure out what is happening with static files (css and images).

A summary of the problem is the following ... when I use static views from a third-party application (Haystack) I cannot use static files.

My project has this directory structure:

1001empbr (name of the folder for the project) | |------ 1001emp (name of the django project) | |------ 1001empbr (name of my App) |------ site_media (folder with static files CSS/JPG/GIF) |------ templates (folder with the templates)

When I use urlpatterns (urls.py) how it works fine:

 import os.path # Para poder suportar static files from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url from emp1001br.views import * from emp1001 import settings from haystack.forms import FacetedSearchForm from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet from haystack.views import FacetedSearchView import datetime urlpatterns = patterns( #'haystack.views', #url(r'^resultados/$', FacetedSearchView(template='emp1001br/pgresultados.html', searchqueryset=sqs, form_class=FacetedSearchForm), name='haystack_search'), '', (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), # To support static files url(r'^$', main_page), (r'^iframe/$', i_frame), )

Here is the server activity:

When I use static views from Haystack:

 import os.path # Para poder suportar static files from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url from emp1001br.views import * from emp1001 import settings from haystack.forms import FacetedSearchForm from haystack.query import SearchQuerySet from haystack.views import FacetedSearchView import datetime urlpatterns = patterns( 'haystack.views', url(r'^resultados/$', FacetedSearchView(template='emp1001br/pgresultados.html', searchqueryset=sqs, form_class=FacetedSearchForm), name='haystack_search'), '', (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), # To support static files url(r'^$', main_page), (r'^iframe/$', i_frame), )

Some time after watching, I get the following:

 0 errors found Django version 1.3.1, using settings 'emp1001.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

Any clue on what should be causing this?

Best wishes,

I don't know if this will solve the problem, but your URL patterns are a bit confusing. Each urlpatterns object should have only one prefix line as the first argument. You have 'haystack.views' and then '' .

You pass callable objects instead of strings in your url patterns, so using an empty string '' for your prefix is ​​fine.

 urlpatterns = patterns( '', url(r'^resultados/$', FacetedSearchView(template='emp1001br/pgresultados.html', searchqueryset=sqs, form_class=FacetedSearchForm), name='haystack_search'), (r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), # To support static files url(r'^$', main_page), (r'^iframe/$', i_frame), )
