Django - static files in the base template

How to make a basic template use static files and make other templates that inherit the basic template to use the same static files?

As I read in the django documentation, he writes on how to use static files that are used for a specific application. But I can’t find a way to make it use static files from outside the application.

This application inherits everything, but static files.

My .py settings:

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', )

These are my current homepage settings:

URL for the main page:

 from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url from myproject.views import hello urlpatterns = patterns('', ('', hello), )

home page view:

 from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from django.http import Http404, HttpResponse import datetime def hello(request): hello = "Hello World" return render_to_response('home/home.html', {'hello': hello})

home page template:

 {% extends "base/base.html" %} {% block title %} My Homepage {% endblock %} {% block content %} <p>I say {{ hello }}</p> {% endblock %}

base template:

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html lang="en"> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}/css/style.css"> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Personal Finance Site</h1> {% block content %}{% endblock %} {% block footer %} <section class="divider1"> <p>Thanks for visiting my site.</p> <p>All rights reserved</p> </section> {% endblock %} </body> </html>

my CSS file is in an empty project called base. But I think that there may be a better way to use static files outside this application.

So, what would be the best way to associate a basic template with a css file to make other templates that are in the database to get the same css file configuration?

base.html

 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html lang="en"> <head> {% block css %} <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ STATIC_URL }}/css/style.css"> {% endblock %} <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> </head> <body> <h1>My Personal Finance Site</h1> {% block content %}{% endblock %} {% block footer %} <section class="divider1"> <p>Thanks for visiting my site.</p> <p>All rights reserved</p> </section> {% endblock %} </body> </html>

page.html

 {% extends "base/base.html" %} {% block title %} My Homepage {% endblock %} {% block css %}{{block.super}} //put css here {% endblock %} {% block content %} <p>I say {{ hello }}</p> {% endblock %}

urls.py

 from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url from django.conf.urls.static import static from django.contrib import admin from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns from project_name import settings admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', ....... ) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

settings.py

 import os import sys .......................... SITE_ROOT = os.path.dirname(__file__) sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'app_name')) MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'media') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'static') STATIC_URL = '/static/' 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. os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'staticfiles'), ) TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths. os.path.join(SITE_ROOT, 'templates'), ) ....................
