Bootstrap drop down menu not clickable.

[sunday honesty]

This is my first question here. I hope I find answer. Am happy to be with you guys.

I am beginner and have been stucked with this issue for about two weeks now.

Because I don't have good network access here, I decided to download and include Bootstrap source file in the static folder of my Django project.
I basically included four files to be able to use bootstrap. The files and their location are as follow.
my_project_directory
my_priject
static
css
bootstrap.min.css
js
bootstrap.min.js
jQuery.min.js
popper.min.js

I have done all the settings as suggested from one online resource. Settings like setting static_url, static_root and staticfile_dir.

I have included {% load static %} at the top of my base.html file and referred to the four files in included. I linked css at the head and the three Js at the body before closing body.

When I try adding nav bar and drop-down menu, every other things worked except for the dropdown. If I click on the item that should reveal the dropdown items, it's simply not showing anything but
append # to my home url at the tab.
That is, before, my home page is something like localhost but when I click on the dropdown, it changes to localhost/# with nothing dropping down.

I have posted this issue on Stackoverflow but no answer till now.

Here's a link to the codes, may be you can take a look at it.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Try to include the dependencies inside the block content. Here is what I did

{% block content %}
{% load bootstrap3 %}
{% bootstrap_css %}
{% bootstrap_javascript %}

I did that and got a TemplateSyntaxError stating that bootstrap4 is not a registered tag library

Try to run the pip install command if you havent already. Check the correct command to install bootstrap3 or 4 if forgot the complete package name.

I saw "pip install django-bootstrap4"

After installing, I should load bootstrap

Then I could add bootstrap form.

Other tutorials I have seen don't require downloading bootstrap since I have doneloaded the compiled bootstrap and added it to the static folder of my Django project.

If really I must download bootstrap using pip before it works, why did other bootstrap features worked well except for the dropdown?

[Simon A]

Not quite sure on that. Usually what I do is the process that you just mentioned and what we did earlier for all the packages that I use.

"bootstrap4"

That's what I did... But the question is do I need to download django-bootstrap with pip before I can use compiled bootstrap I have downloaded?

Isn't django-bootstrap different from bootstrap?

The compiled bootstrap you have downloaded is just a bunch of CSS
styles. You have to do some manual work to make that work with you
Django project.

The whole point of something like the django-bootstrap package is to
avoid that manual work.

Have you tried following the very simple installation instructions:

https://django-bootstrap4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

Kind regards,

Thanks for replying...

I just downloaded it now following the guide on the doc you sent me.

I have added it to my installed app and requirements.txt.

I loaded it at the top of my template and it didn't work. I then included it in the {% block content %} as suggested by a member here yesterday, yet it didn't work.

I don't know what's just wrong.

You can take a look at my base.html file

I would definitely load it at the top of the template as seems to be
what is suggested in the quickstart guide:

https://django-bootstrap4.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

I'm not sure what you mean by "not working". Would be nice with some
more details. Consider using the developer tools of your browser and see
if there are any errors in the console log.:

Does the bootstrap CSS files load?
Any javascript errors?
etc.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup

Have you tried the same drop down menu code in a plain html file?

Without django involved.

Just create a html file, put the menu code and boostrap code and test if it works in the first place.  This issue might be the dropdown configuration.
