It worked when i go to the following URL all the images are working
now
http://localhost:8000/template/static/plugin_layouts/layouts/Pluralism/index.html
But that isn't the right way to view the application. So the only work
around is to provide full path for the image is this correct.
One method that was used was this one
Create the string:
{{u=URL('static',args=('plugin_layouts','layouts','Optimism'))}}
Use it wherever you wish in the view:
<img src="{{=u}}/image.jpg" />
Would that be the best method.
Thanks everybody for all the help
