Hi Gary,
In your second example:
├── archive
│ ├── archive
│ │ ├── __init__.py
│ │ ├── settings.py
│ │ ├── urls.py
│ │ └── wsgi.py
│ ├── home
│ ├── static
| | |___home
│ │ ├── home.css
│ │ ├── images
you have what I would call a "global" static files directory. Files from
this directory will only be found if you configure that directory in your
settings:
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
This is because that directory is not part of any app that is listed in
INSTALLED_APPS.
BASE_DIR is the top-level "archive" directory, by the way (the first
"archive" in the tree).
I hope this helps.
Because this gets asked so often, I am trying to to sump it up here:
https://fleschenberg.net/django-staticfiles/
I'd love to hear your feedback about this article, i.e. if it clarifies
things for you, or how to improve it.
Thanks for the tips. I read your 'In a nutshell" . Good work. Now,
getting into setup philosophy, it occurs to me that it would be nice to
have global static files for such things as a style.css file since the
file should set the style of your whole web site. I suppose that one
could put a copy of the file under each apps static folder but change
control would be horrible. Could I set up both a global static folder
and then have a static folder under each app? Being rather new to this
rats nest (great framework all the same) I'm probably skating on rather
thin ice here. Be kind.
As to your comment on the first tree, I think I created the problem
while cutting and pasting. The actual project works - mostly.
A comment on "6 An alternative approach". This actually my case. When
you say that the app listed first takes precedence.
Looking forward to your comments.
