    <p>i'm a Django newbie working on my first project and having a problem with static files.</p> <p>I have created a simple auth system using <code>django.contrib.auth</code> consisting of two templates: <code>mysite/templates/index.html</code> and <code>mysite/templates/registration/login.html</code>. I have global static content in <code>mysite/static</code> which I want to be able to access on all templates rendered by all apps.</p> <p><code>mysite/templates/index.html</code> contains <code>&lt;img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}pics03.jpg"/&gt;</code> which renders as <code>"static/pics03.jpg"</code> and loads fine when I visit the url <code>localhost:8000/</code></p> <p><code>mysite/templates/registration/login.html</code> contains <code>&lt;img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}pics03.jpg"/&gt;</code> which also renders as <code>"static/pics03.jpg"</code> and does not load when I visit the url <code>"localhost:8000/accounts/login/"</code></p> <p>In my urls.py I have:</p> <pre><code>urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^$', 'mysite.views.home'), # plays index.html template url(r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login'), </code></pre> <p>In my settings.py I have:</p> <pre><code>PROJECT_DIR = os.path.dirname(__file__) STATICFILES_DIRS = ( # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static". # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows. # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths. os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR,'static'), ) STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder', ) STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = '' </code></pre> <p>I was under the impression that Django should be looking for global static content in STATICFILES_DIRS, but it doesn't find the static content for login.html even if I change the url in there to an absolute path to the static folder. Can anyone shed any light on this?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
