Need some help with django. Seems that somehow i can't change the css of my home page.
These are my static settings:
# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.9/howto/static-files/
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
#'/var/www/static/',
]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static_cdn")
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "media_cdn")
In my index_home.html page i want to put a background image e.g. marea.jpg which is in static/img/marea.jpg.
<!--DOCTYPE html -->
<html>
<head>
{% load static %}
<title>Romanii din Italia</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-BVYiiSIFeK1dGmJRAkycuHAHRg32OmUcww7on3RYdg4Va+PmSTsz/K68vbdEjh4u" crossorigin="anonymous">
<link rel='stylesheet' href="static/css/custom.css" />
<link href="{% static 'css/custom.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">

</head>
<body>
<div class='container'>
<ol class='breadcrumb'>
<li><a href='{% url "posts:home" %}'>Acasa</a></li>
<li><a href='{% url "posts:list" %}'>Stiri</a></li>
{% if not request.user.is_authenticated %}
<li class='pull-right'><a href='{% url "register" %}'>Register</a></li>
<li class='pull-right'><a href='{% url "login" %}'>Login</a></li>
{% else %}
<li class='pull-right'><a href='{% url "logout" %}'>Logout</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ol>
</div>
<div class="container" >
<h2>Bine ati venit pe site-ul romanilor din Italia!</h2>
<div class="row" id="primapoza" style="background-image: url('/static/img/roma.jpg');background-repeat: no-repeat;background-size: cover;height: calc(100vh - 71px);">
<div class="col-xs-12 offset-xs-0 col-sm-4 offset-sm-4 section-title" >
<br><br>
<p id="banner-text"> Romani in Italia! </p>
<!-- <p id="banner-text" style="text-align: center;font-size:40px;!important;font-color:white;!important;margin-left: 100px;"> Romani in Italia! </p> -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And this is my custom.css which doesn't change my css code. Can someone pls advise? Thank you in advance!
h1 {
color: #777777;
}
.wmd-panel{
margin-right: 0px !important;
margin-left: 0px !important;
}
.comment-reply{
display:none;
}
#banner-text{
font-color:white;!important;
font-size:40px;
}
I can customize the CSS only with inline code e.g <p id="banner-text" style="margin-left: 400;font-color: black;font-size:30">Romani in Italia!</p
Use {% load static %} and {% load staticfiles %} under head tag in html
Based on my understand of how {% load static %} is used and what the Django documentation is saying, I don't think you're using {% load static %} correctly. I've always used it right above whatever my static link were to be.
For example, in your html doc head, it should be
{% load static %}
<link rel='stylesheet' href='{% static "css/base.css" %}'>
Otherwise, I don't think your stylesheet is linked to your html doc. Try that and also correct that mistake anywhere else you may have it, and it should be working.
You can't have {% load static %} at the top of your file and expect it to apply for the whole page. It needs to be right above whatever your static file is, as many times as you use it.

Hii I'm kind of new so I might be making a rookie mistake but I have this HTML :
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% block meta %}
<title>HOME</title>
{% endblock meta %}
{% block style %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'style.css' %}">
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<div class="content">
<h1>Test</h1>
</div>
{% endblock content %}
and this CSS
div.content {
background-color: #DFBEBE;
text-align: center;
padding: 10px;
height: 100%;
}
But it's not working... I tried with .content before but it also won't apply to my HTML. I applied a h1 css (with font) and it works just fine. It also works just fine with my previous projects(?) What did I do?
I am not sure what your file structure is, but try something like this to link your stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}">
url_for() is what I have always used for my django projects, and it has worked every time. Note: you will need to have the stylesheet placed in the 'static' folder (unless you change 'static' in the function to something else).
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="index.css">
This is the easiest way to link them. Also check if the CSS and HTML are in the same folder
You're probably not linking it correctly to the CSS in the HTML. Make sure your path is correct. If it is, .content should work fine.
Here is the working JSFiddle with your code.
Here is my HTML file:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" dir="ltr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<!-- Link to Bookstrap and stylesheet -->
<link rel='stylesheet' href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}">
<link rel='stylesheet' href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
<script src="{% static 'js/bootstrap.min.js' %'}"></script>
</head>
<body class="bg-blue">
<div class="container">
<div class ="row">
<div class ="col-lg-4 col-lg-offset-4">
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<div class="panel panel-body">
<div class="panel-body">
<h3 class="text-center text-uppercase"><b> {% block heading %}{% endblock %}</b></h3>
<br/>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I want to use the "bg-blue" class defined in my style.css.
.bg-blue{
background-color: #3F3F63;
}
However it doesn't work. My boostrap and style.css are in the same folder. The Bootstrap loads, for example my text in centered and uppercase and the font is different.
I've also tried putting the class directly in the html file, and that works, but I want to be able to use style.css.
Edit: it works in Firefox but not Chrome, so it's not the code, any explain to this?
that is because you forgot to clear cache in chrome.press control + F5 to clear cache and load again.
I am developing the website on python(Django). I am getting some difficulties to change the background color of the top menu on every page.
What I am doing is, I have an index.html page and templates which are aboutus, contactus and service. When I am on the home page then I am getting the gray background of the menu which is correct. Now I am on aboutus and I have to change the menu color from gray to black but I am getting the only gray.
So I want to know how do I change the class or override the CSS? Should I need to add the class to the body and then override the menu BG? How do I added the class to the body on each page dynamically?
index.html
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{% block title%}Home{% endblock %}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/bootstrap.min.css' %}" type="text/css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css'%}" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="Wrpper">
<header class="bg_gray"><!--top menu code--></header>
{% block content %}
<!-- template code -->
{% endblock %}
<footer><!--footer code--></footer>
</div>
<script src="{% static 'js/jquery.min.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'js/main.js' %}"></script>
</body>
</html>
style.css
.bg_gray{background-color: #ccc;}
.bg_black{background-color: #000;}
aboutus.html (All template are same)
{% extends 'demo1/index.html' %}
{% load static %}
<title>{% block title %}About us{% endblock %}</title>
{% block content %}
<!--some code here-->
{% endblock %}
you can override the header's class using javascript
first give your header an id :
then include the javascript file:
in app.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#top-header').removeClass('bg_gray');
$('#top-header').addClass('bg_blak');
});
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'js/app.js' %}">
<header class="bg_gray" id="top-header"><!--top menu code--></header>
Give important to bg_black class it will override the css of bg_gray class property...
like this,
.bg_black{
background-color: #000!important;
}
html:
<header class="bg_gray bg_black"><!--top menu code--></header>
Okay, so I have this first HTML file (header.html):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>M4A</title>
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/header.css' %}" />
<link rel="icon" href="../../static/image/logo.png">
</head>
<body class="body" style="background-color:#f9f9f9">
{% block content %}
<ul>
<li><img src="../../static/image/logoRect.png" width="25"> </li>
<li>Movies</li>
<li><a class="left" href="">Search</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="/profile/">Profile</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="#about">Explore</a></li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
And then I have this other one (home.html):
{% extends "START/header.html" %}
{% block content %}
<p> TEST</p> <!-- for example -->
{% endblock %}
but when running the second one it doesn't extend really, it looks like its replacing the content of the other HTML file's body. the background color is still the one in my css file though so I'm sure it's reading it. What am I missing?
You are replacing the body when you use the same block tag in your home.html that in your header.html
{% block content %}
You should use a different name if you dont want to replace it.
In addition you can use:
{{ block.super() }}
If you want to extend the block content data, notice it's a different issue from extending a template.
It is not clear to me what you are expecting.
The Jinja documentation about templates is pretty clear about what a block does:
All the block tag does is tell the template engine that a child template may override those placeholders in the template.
In your example, the base template (header.html) has a default value for the content block, which is everything inside that block. By setting a value in home.html, you are overriding that default value with another block.
If you want to add content below your navigation menu, simply rework your template to the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>M4A</title>
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/header.css' %}" />
<link rel="icon" href="../../static/image/logo.png">
</head>
<body class="body" style="background-color:#f9f9f9">
<ul>
<li><img src="../../static/image/logoRect.png" width="25"> </li>
<li>Movies</li>
<li><a class="left" href="">Search</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="/profile/">Profile</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="#about">Explore</a></li>
</ul>
{% block content %}<p>This will appear if you don't set a block in the inheriting template.</p>{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>M4A</title>
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/header.css' %}" />
<link rel="icon" href="../../static/image/logo.png">
</head>
{% block content %}
<body class="body" style="background-color:#f9f9f9">
<ul>
<li><img src="../../static/image/logoRect.png" width="25"> </li>
<li>Movies</li>
<li><a class="left" href="">Search</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="/profile/">Profile</a></li>
<li><a class="left" href="#about">Explore</a></li>
</ul>
</body>
{% endblock %}
</html>
make body inside in block and change body backgound
{% extends "START/header.html" %}
{% block content %}
<body class="body" style="background-color:#f23d49">
<p> TEST</p> <!-- for example -->
</body>
{% endblock %}
I couldn't get my image reflected using StaticFile process. Here are my global settings:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
('assets', 'C:/Users/dhopkins/PycharmProjects/django_test/static'),
My base.html:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>{% block title %}My base template.{% endblock %}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static "assets/css/default.css" %}">
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
{% block sidebar %}
<ul>
<li>Articles</li>
<li>Admin</li>
</ul>
{% endblock %}
</div>
<div id="content">
{% block content %}Content goes here!{% endblock %}
<img scr="{% static "images/python-logo.jpg" %}" width="200"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
My image folder is located in C:\Users\dhopkins\PycharmProjects\django_test\static\images.
Please help.
Your problem lies in this line
<img scr="{% static "images/python-logo.jpg" %}" width="200"/>
it should be
<img src="{% static "images/python-logo.jpg" %}" width="200"/>
This is not a problem with your static files. You've simply misspelled the <img src> attribute :-)
