Ok, so I did use quotes in my link, and I changed my STATIC_URL setting (in settings.py) from '/static/' to 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/' (I am currently using the built-in development server at this address), but still no luck.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by my "staticfiles settings." (Sorry, once again I'm a total beginner so please bear with me.) My current settings related to static files in 'settings.py' are as follows: STATIC_ROOT = '' STATIC_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/' ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/static/admin/' STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/Users/guillaumechorn/Documents/website/mainapp/static') STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder' ) Below are the full contents of my urls.py file: from django.conf.urls.defaults import * from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover() urlpatterns = patterns('', (r'^home/$','mainapp.views.homepage'), (r'^mainapp/$','mainapp.views.index'), (r'^mainapp/(?P<company_id>\d+)/$', 'mainapp.views.detail'), (r'^products/$','mainapp.views.productindex'), (r'^products/(?P<product_id>\d+)/$','mainapp.views.productdetail'), (r'^news/$','mainapp.views.news'), (r'^events/(?P<event_id>\d+)/$','mainapp.views.eventdetail'), (r'^partners/$','mainapp.views.partners'), (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() Once again, I'm using the following to link to my CSS file: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='{{ STATIC_URL }}stylesheet.css' /> Am I still missing something? Did I enter in anything incorrectly? thanks, Guillaume On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 6:06 PM, Thomas Orozco <g.orozco.tho...@gmail.com>wrote: > Last thing, I made a typo, the address you could use should start with > http, like: http://127.0.0.1/static/ > Le 2 août 2011 12:01, "Thomas Orozco" <g.orozco.tho...@gmail.com> a > écrit : > > > A little detail, but you never know: you should put some ' ' in your > link. > > Like this : > > > > <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='{{ STATIC_ > > URL }}stylesheet.css' /> > > > > > > If there are spaces in your path, this could cause the lookup to fail. > > > > And even if that's not the case, don't rely on the user's browser to fix > > coding mistakes. > > Le 2 août 2011 10:28, "Guillaume Chorn" <guillaumech...@gmail.com> a > écrit : > >> Thomas and Lokesh, > >> > >> Thanks very much for your help.
