Hi Arthur,
Thanks for your post. It was one of the first I found perfectly aligned with
my current issue: showing the look & feel one would expect, while following
the official django tutorial at
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial02/ using django's
default *development server*.
After looking around for the replies on this post and other similar
questions on the web, I was able to fix this with these 4 actions:
1. Make sure you have the following lines in settings.py:
-
- MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "media")
- MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
- ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
2. Add the following line to urls.py, as an extra parameter inside the *
patterns* function call
-
- # Required to make static serving work
- (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
3. Build a directory structure to the above settings
<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_9631DYMEFh0/TSC6IKDtAAI/AAAAAAAAARQ/QK-_J47R7Ts/django.tutorial.02.directory.structure.png>
4. And, finally, copy the default admin CSS files from the django
installation onto the above structure (in my case the django CSS files were
in *C:\django\django\contrib\admin\media\css*)
Also, it helped me a lot to read these posts in the web:

Have fun,
