    <p>I am developing a Django (1.3) project composed of many applications. Each application has its own static files under its own <code>static</code> directory. Moreover, I have added a directory called <code>project_static</code> which should contain static files which are common throughout the various applications, such as jQuery.</p> <p>The problem I immediately run into is that of naming collisions. By default, <code>collectstatic</code> will just put everything under a global <code>static</code> directory, without classifying them by application. This does not work for me, as each application has - for instance - a file called <code>css/screen.css</code>.</p> <p>The way I solved it is by removing <code>django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder</code> from <code>STATICFILES_FINDERS</code> and using <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#prefixes-optional" rel="nofollow noreferrer">namespaced static files dirs</a>, so my settings now look like:</p> <pre><code>STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'project_static'), ('my_app', os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'my_app', 'static')), ('another_app', os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'another_app', 'static')), ... ) STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder', ) </code></pre> <p>The problem is that in this way I lose the static files for all other applications (e.g. <code>django.contrib.admin</code>). Of course I could manually add the admin, but I'm not sure how to do this without breaking the admin, which has a different directory structure.</p> <blockquote> <p>Is there a better way to manage the static files with more than one application?</p> </blockquote>

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.
