I suppose that's my confusion - before this, each application directory had
it's own /static/ directory with /css/, /js/ and /img/ directories as
needed. I adjusted the settings as mentioned and tried the following:
DEBUG = False
PROJECT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'static'),)
CollectStatic now works properly - it collects everything into the project
root under static. File linking isn't though - the links dont work, and so
none of the css or javascript loads. I'm wondering if I'm misusing the css
tags I'm testing with. An example from my base template:
{% load static %}
<link href="{% static '/css/custom.css' %}" media="screen">
Thank you for your time,
Vernon Burt
