I tried using a style sheet served as a static file with the tutorial project. In settings.py, I defined STATIC_URL = /static/ and STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/path/to/project/static/',). Then I defined a base_html template with a line in the HEAD of the form
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ STATIC_URL }} style.css" /> and put style.css in directory /static/. Finally, I defined index.html, detail.html, etc., as given in the tutorial to each extend base.html. Everything works perfectly, except that only one template (detail.html) correctly processes the {{ STATIC_URL }} value to find / static/style.css. In every other template, {{ STATIC_URL }} evaluates to the empty string, giving just style.css, which does not exist of course. Every template extends the single base template in the same way. So why does {{ STATIC_URL }} work for some templates and not others? Rodney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
