Re: empty static_url

Hi Tom,

Thanks a million for the reply, you helped solve my issue.

Technically speaking, if that is your template, and you end up with
"/css/style.css", then STATIC_URL is not empty, it is '/'.

Yeah sorry, I should have just had "css/style.css" as I wasn't even getting the forward slash.

Yes thats correct, 1 project with 3 apps etc. I just changed the last line in my view(that wasn't working, not the 2 generic view ones) from...

return render_to_response('sales/index.html', {'sales_list': sales_list})

to...

return render_to_response('sales/index.html', {'sales_list': sales_list},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

and that did the job. Thanks again.

To clarify - you only have one project, with three apps in it. In two
of the apps, which only use generic views, STATIC_URL works correctly,
but in third app it does not.

Do these views in the third app use RequestContext to render the
templates? Generic views do…

Cheers
