referencing css files with django

I'm new to the Django framework and am having a little bit of trouble following the documentation for including CSS files.

I have set up a media root in settings.py MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/daniel/django/site1/media/'

MEDIA_URL = '/static/'

And within that I have my css f开发者_如何学编程older and file

/home/daniel/django/site1/media/css/style.css

Now in my html files how do I then reference the CSS file?

As I am in local development, I have done what the Django Docs have send and kept MEDIA_URL as '/static/'.

To then reference the files, do I have done this, but to no avail.

Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks,

Dan

you should be able to include your css like so:

    <link href="/static/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Also, if you're running the django dev server, you have to enable static file serving. Try adding the following to your urls.py:

from django.conf import settings

urlpatterns = patterns('',    
   (r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
                               {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),

Please note that for production use you should disable static file serving within django, and configure your webserver to take over the serving of static content.

Append to urls.py:

from django.db import settings
# Media (development)
# Serves media content. WARNING!! Only for development uses.
# On production use lighthttpd for media content.
# Set DEBUG to False in production.
if settings.DEBUG:
    # Delete the first trailing slash, if any.
    if settings.MEDIA_URL.startswith('/'):
        media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL[1:]
    else:
        media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL

    # Add the last trailing slash, if have not.
    if not media_url.endswith('/'):
        media_url = media_url + '/'

    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        (r'^' + media_url + '(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
            {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}
        ),
    )

And then in your template:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}css/style.css" />
