Problem in part 6, CSS doesn't work

[Mikko Meronen]

Hi,

I can't get the CSS code to work. Link color doesn't change to green nor the background image appear.

What could be the problem? The CSS code is in Wordpad.

polls/static/polls/images/style.css:

li a {

color: green;

}

body {

background: white url("images/background.gif") no-repeat;

}

polls/templates/polls/index.html:

{% if latest_question_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for question in latest_question_list %}

        <li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}

{% load static %}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'polls/style.css' %}" />

Best regards,

Mikko

Mikko,

  Your css file is polls/static/polls/images/style.css but you are trying to link to polls/style.css which would be [ olls/static/polls/style.css ]

Move your style.css file one folder folder down into polls/static/polls/style.css

In PowerShell it says:

[26/May/2018 17:45:14] "GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1669

[s.f.w...@googlemail.com]

Make sure that you add the following line to your settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'YOUR_APP_NAME',

'django.contrib.admin',

'django.contrib.auth',

'django.contrib.contenttypes',

'django.contrib.sessions',

'django.contrib.messages',

'django.contrib.staticfiles',

] 

In your case YOUR_APP_NAME should be polls.

Only with this line set, django looks in polls/static/polls/ for static (e.g .css) files.

Hi,

Thank you, but I should have those correct.

I did some googling and ran following: python manage.py collectstatic

And I got this:

Django-project\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\staticfiles\storage.py", line 43, in path

    raise ImproperlyConfigured("You're using the staticfiles app "

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You're using the staticfiles app without having set the STATIC_ROOT setting to a filesystem path.

If any advices available, I would appreciate it a lot, thank you.

That's only for production environments, for development you don't need to run that command

Where did you finally put the css file and what path did you put in the <link> tag?

Hi,

The css file is in .../polls/static/polls/style.css

And here is the full code of .../polls/templates/polls/index.html:

{% load static %}

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'polls/style.css' %}" />

{% if latest_question_list %}

    <ul>

    {% for question in latest_question_list %}

        <li><a href="{% url 'polls:detail' question.id %}">{{ question.question_text }}</a></li>

    {% endfor %}

    </ul>

{% else %}

    <p>No polls are available.</p>

{% endif %}

And this is the PowerShell I get when opening the webpage:

[30/May/2018 17:26:42] "GET /polls/ HTTP/1.1" 200 169

[30/May/2018 17:26:42] "GET /polls/static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1681
