Default Django 1.5 Admin CSS Not Working

Default Django 1.5 admin css not working

How did you configure it? For admin app to load static files, you need to create a symbolic link inside your app's static directory. Have you done this?

ls -l should give something like:

admin -> /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/media

Why does my Django admin site not have styles / CSS loading?

Django does not serve static files on it's own. You have to tell it where the files are.

The ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX in the settings.py will point Django in the right location.

Since you're using the development version, you'll want the dev-specific document for static files how-to. Adam's link will lead you to the 1.2 version.

css doesnt work in administration page in django on aws

I had the same CSS files not found issue for admin site when following:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create-deploy-python-django.html#python-django-create-app

What worked for me is:

.ebextensions/django.config:

container_commands:
   01_collectstatic:
      command: "python manage.py collectstatic --noinput"
      leader_only: true

option_settings:

   aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:
      WSGIPath: ebdjango/wsgi.py
   aws:elasticbeanstalk:container:python:staticfiles:
      "/static": "static/"

add the following line to ebdjango/settings.py:

STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static/')

then eb deploy

hope this helps

Why there is no static files(js/css/pic) in my Django(1.5.1) Admin Site?

Finally I solve this problem by myself.

The reason is not caused by Django version or settings in settings.py, but by the key(s) which is(are) not ASCII in Windows regedit.

The regedit path is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type, find out the non-ASCII key(s)(such as Chinese keys) and delete it(them).

It works now:)

STATIC_URL Not Working on Django 1.5

OK I'm getting a 304 on the .js and .css files, so looks like I have fixed it. I just had to change my folder name from 'static' to 'staticfiles', in my inner srt_project directory. Though it doesn't makes any sense to me as to how this is possible, if 'static' is now 'staticfiles':

[29/Oct/2013 12:50:48] "GET /static/srt/css/django-admin-widgets.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0
[29/Oct/2013 12:50:48] "GET /static/srt/js/django-admin.multiselect.js HTTP/1.1" 304 0

Could someone please explain it?

Django admin media not loading

Thank you for your help, the problem was in the nginx.conf, I wasn't locating /static folder.

    location /static {
            root /srv/www/antingprojects.com.ar/gobras;
    }

conversion from django 1.4 to 1.5 errors

so django 1.5 was giving me nightmare so i resolved my problem by using direct jquery datpicker here is the jquery datepicker

all i had to do is change the id which is a little bit tricky in django .for example if your date field name is start_date then id will be formtools_start_date . and for this kind of datepicker you don't even need any icon to show.. this helped me i hope this will help those also whoever upgraded their django version.

Django 1.5.4 unable to serve css on development server

You need to use absolute paths when defining MEDIA_ROOT, STATIC_ROOT, STATICFILES_DIRS and TEMPLATE_DIRS. Good practice is to start off settings module (it doesn't have to be a single file!) with something like this:

import os
PROJECT_DIR = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)), '..')

Yeah yeah, I know how it looks, the most awful piece of Python I've encountered so far. Yet it IS a way to go. Let's check it out in a shell:

In [1]: from django.conf import settings

In [2]: settings.PROJECT_DIR
Out[2]: '/home/yourname/Projects/simple_emp_hr/simple_emp_hr/..'

Which is equivalent to /home/yourname/Projects/simple_emp_hr right?
Now we can use os.path.join again to glue dirs together:

In [3]: import os

In [4]: os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_DIR, 'foo', 'bar')
Out[4]: '/home/yourname/Projects/simple_emp_hr/simple_emp_hr/../foo/bar'

And here we go in the actual settings:

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'static') # you will have something different, I guess
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, 'hr_base', 'static'),
)

Same drill for MEDIA_ROOT.

EDIT: my urls snippet for static. I shamelessly took it from some blog back in a day.

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # normal patterns
)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
            {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
        url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
            {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
    )
