Incorporate jQuery grid with django

[Igor Korot]

Hi, ALL,
This is my first post to this group so please bear with me for a sec.

I successfully installed django and followed the tutorial to create a project and an application.
It connects to my DB (mySQL) and everything is good.

Now in the part 3 of the tutorial I need to create a view.
I did create the URL in the appropriate place, but now I want to display my table with jQuery Grid.

So what I did is I downloaded the latest jQuery and placed it in the same html directory where my template is.
Now in the index.html I placed following code:

[code]
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.10.2.js">
      jQuery(document).ready(function() {
            jQuery("#grid").jqGrid({
                  url: "displayusbtable.py",
                  datatype: "local",
            }).navGrid("#gridpager");
     });
</script>
[/code]

My views.py have this code:
[code]
def displayusbtable(request):
     usb_list = USB.objects.all()
     t = loader.get_template('html/index.html')
     c = Context( { 'usb_list': usb_list, } )
     returns HttpResponse(t.render(c))
[/code]

Now when I try to go to "127.0.0.1:8000/usb" I see following message:

"GET /usb/jquery-1.10.2.js HTTP/1.1" 404 2063

Checking the "Developer Tools" in IE8, I see an error in my index.html:

Obect expected: line 8 character 5
Expected identifier, string or number: line 20
I think I need to make a "usb" folder somewhere, place the jquery.js file there and that's it. But I don't know where this folder should be located.

Could someone please help?

Thank you.

Hi Igor,

I'm unsure about the usb issue, but the "Django" way is to place all of your static files in a specific directory and use the manage.py collectstatic command, then serve them from a static location. This will allow you to offload your statics to a CDN as your site grows.

Have a look at this part of the docs for much more info: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
