Prerequisites

Before referring to static contents, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

  • 'django.contrib.staticfiles', is added to INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file of your application.

  • The directory with the static contents (for example, images), named static, resides under the application root.

Note that you can configure the directory for the static content in the settings.py file, by changing the STATICFILES_DIRS field.

Referring to static contents

To refer to static contents, follow these general steps

  1. In the pre-configured directory for templates, create a template file (Alt+Insert - HTML/XHTML file).

  2. After the template tag STATIC_URL, start typing, and then use Ctrl+Space. Inspection that detects unresolved references to the static contents is also available.
