Situation as of 19/2/2022:
|
|
|
|
|
The only use of STATIC or the /static/ path is by Django-provided admin pages which
|
|
|
|
|
we cannot chnage.
|
|
|
|
|
Locations of files are documented by comments at the bootom of the urls.py file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
flatviews, flatpages are now called expoviews, expopages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we no longer load or use django.contrib.staticfiles
|
|
|
|

|
Situation as of 17/6/2020:
|
|
|
|
|
We have 3 folders for CSS files in 3 very different places:
|
|
|
|
|
1 in expoweb repo
|
|
|
|
|
1 in troggle repo
|
|
|
|
|
1 not in either repo but intimately needed by troggle
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These are (in /home/expo/ ):
|
|
|
|
|
1. expoweb/css/ (used by the handbook)
|
|
|
|
|
2. troggle/media/css/ (used by troggle pages)
|
|
|
|
|
3. static/admin/css (used by django control panel and django plugins)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. expoweb/css/ flatviews.flatpage - the url is /css/main2.css
|
|
|
|
|
2. troggle/media/css/ MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL - the url is /site_media/css/main3.css
|
|
|
|
|
3. static/admin/css STATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL - the url is /static/admin/css/base.css
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
After installing Django, we need to manually copy its CSS etc. files from,
|
2020-06-18 21:50:16 +01:00
|
|
|
e.g. /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/css
|
|
|
|
|
to
|
|
|
|
|
/static/admin/css/base.css
|
|
|
|
|
if there are changes. But our old set of gifs is probably better.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
from django.contrib.staticfiles import views as staticviews
|
|
|
|
|
from flatpages import views as flatviews
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. url(r'^(.*)$', flatviews.flatpage, name="flatpage"),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. url(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', staticviews.serve, {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
|
|
|
|
|
'show_indexes': True}),
|
|
|
|
|
3. url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', staticviews.serve, {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT,
|
|
|
|
|
'show_indexes': True}),
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also (for development only):
|
|
|
|
|
url(r'^expofiles/(?P<path>.*)$', staticviews.serve, {'document_root': settings.EXPOFILES,
|
|
|
|
|
'show_indexes': True}),
|
