Hi, you should conform the django.contrib.staticfiles in your
INSTALLED_APPS, then add the prefix to your template:{% load static %},On Thursday, August 4, 2011, Guillaume Chorn <guillaumech...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > It's been a couple of days since I last wrote and no response so I'm trying again (see below). Please help if you can; without being able to link to external static files I really can't do anything else with my site. CSS is the very least of my concerns--worst case I can include that info in each HTML file--but I need to be able to use some basic javascript for my site and right now, because of this issue, I can't even do that.
