I discovered my static files serve only after changing the STATIC_URL = '/staticabc/' but if i take it back to default it results blank web page. what could be the reason?

Subscribed! Just solved my problem Ive been having for a while! Aka trying out photologue; the uploaded pictures havent been loading from MEDIA_ROOT in development environment, tried multiple approaches, read lots of docs and still missed this simple solution!

Could you clarify the issue of those urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL,
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,

We can see:

If you use django.contrib.staticfiles <...>, runserver will do this automatically when DEBUG is set to True. If you don’t have django.contrib.staticfiles in INSTALLED_APPS, you can still manually serve static files using the view.

If I'm not mistaken, we really use django.contrib.staticfiles. I have slowed the speed down to 0.25 and
at about 4:20 I can see django.contrib.staticfiles in the installed apps in your screen.

Could you clarify: if we already use django.contrib.staticfiles, why should we use those urlpatterns += static()?

I don't understand why you go to all the trouble to set up complicated STATIC_ROOT and STATICFILE_DIRS (across two videos) when you can just create a directory called "static" and it will get automatically detected by default. It seems to be making something that should be dead simple into something ridiculously complex.

i apreciate you free tutorials but you need to be more objetive, its kinda abstract

nashvilla

OK
i am confused in this vid
my understanding:
SERVING is for production so that static files would be obtained from path mentioned in static_root.... had it been in development, static files would have been auto detected via django.conf.staticfiles
correct me if i am wrong!

Invalid block tag: 'static_in_pro', expected 'endblock'
Can you help me with this issue please. Thanks.

Great Tutorial~And I'm still a little bit confused about where the risk of "expose static file root folders" to production env. come from?Will it be more hackable?

I have one question: I need to run all this configurantion process for every project? Is there a way to keep that like a "basic project already configured"?

_kaio_

I'm receiving this error

ImproperlyConfigured at /
Empty static prefix not permitted

For development server, is modifying the urls.py necessary? Because I haven't done so and my static files are being rendered.

dfhfdgfgdfshdfhe

what do u mean "you dont want to do this in production, only in development"? how would you do it in production??

gabrield

i meet a problem: If set, MEDIA_URL must end with a slash, i am pycharm and cmd!why?

mingyang

I would really appreciate if it had been slower, i'm lost in this STATIC thing..

ruthvikvijayakumar

Hey Justin!
Your videos are just great!
My projects is built around a python script, quite complex to ctrl-c ctrl-v to js because why not. The question is can I run python scripts in django, print them and bring them alive in this environment? can a button call a function and the return of it being printed or added to the database?

aperyon

We set up static files in order to serve css files and other java files separately? is that the main reason? just making sure i understand.

travisestrada

Is it normal to Sublime Text to don't update files in folders project? I've been mad for a while with 'python manage.py collecstatic'. Firstly seems to have installed files in a folder inside django directory and afterwards, don't do anything. I've been doing again video 17 and when i left the external folder for static and take it again, the admin & img folders have appeared in the project!

VidAgendaConcertsCat

What do we do for production, if this is only good for development?

sierrakilo

When in debug mode...
I noticed that if commented out the line in urls.py
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL,
then static files are served correctly. So my assumption is that in debug mode, static files located in apps/static and in STATICFILES_DIRS are served by the server automatically.
Why we should add the line?
