    <p>I am confused by <code>static root</code> and want to clarify things.</p> <p>To serve static files in Django, the following should be in <code>settings.py</code> and <code>urls.py</code>:</p> <pre><code>import os PROJECT_DIR=os.path.dirname(__file__) </code></pre> <h1>1. Absolute path to the directory in which static files should be collected</h1> <pre><code>STATIC_ROOT= os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR,'static_media/') </code></pre> <h1>2. URL prefix for static files</h1> <pre><code>STATIC_URL = '/static/' </code></pre> <h1>3. Additional locations for static files</h1> <pre><code>STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR,'static/'),) </code></pre> <p>...and in <code>urls.py</code> the following lines:</p> <pre><code>from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns urlpatterns += patterns('', ( r'^static/(?P&lt;path&gt;.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT} )) </code></pre> <h1>4. We also use <code>python manage.py collectstatic</code></h1> <p>Questions:</p> <ol> <li><p>Could anyone please explain the workflow to me: how should things ideally be done. As of now, I copy/paste the above code snippets into their designated locations and continue making new files in the static directory and it works. In my <code>settings.STATIC_ROOT</code>, however, I have pointed to a different directory. </p></li> <li><p>It would be great if someone could explain the workflow of each setting: how files are collected and managed, and what would be a good practice to follow. </p></li> </ol> <p>Thanks. </p>

    1. COCould you clarify on what you mean by 'explain the workflow'? also your url patterns should be conditional on if you are developing in part 3. you can do this by adding `if settings.DEBUG:` django is not very good at serving static media, this should be left to a real webserver.

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.
