Insert this snippet:

Right before the Post button in your post_detail.html to reload the comment page instead of getting that crappy “Your comment was posted” page.

Hi Timothy, hopefully I can help you. Go into your templates directory and make a new directory which is called posts. After that move your post_list.html in to this directory. Also _posts.html.
What the author meant in this tutorial is, that you have to put the stuff in a subdirectory called posts in your templates folder .
Kind regards

I’m having a problem at the point where I’m writing the post_list.html file. You need to specify whether it goes in /posts/ or in /templates. In any event, I have put copies of it in both places, and I continue to get the following error:

“TemplateDoesNotExist at /
posts/post_list.html”

LOL, I had the same getting certain characters to display. lt=less than symbol while gt=greater than symbol.

‘^media/(?Pltpathgt.*)$’

Thanks to all who helped eliminate this error:

(r’^resources/(? .*)$’, ‘django.views.static.serve’, {‘document_root’: settings.MEDIA_ROOT})

…

AnAmigian’s comment solved it for me

urlpatterns += patterns(”,
(r’^media/(?P.*)$’,'django.views.static.serve’,{
‘document_root’:settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}),
)

Ups, between /?P and .*)$b is <path> missing

urlpatterns += patterns(”, (r’^resources/(?P.*)$’, ‘django.views.static.serve’, {‘document_root’: settings.MEDIA_ROOT}))

Thanks for this post. I started up a new Django project this week and was determined to make use of generic views wherever possible because somewhere along the way I had picked up the bad habit of writing custom views for everything … silly huh? Needless to say, I spared myself from having to write a lot of monotonous CRUD code. Thanks again!

I would like more information regarding from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns(”,
(r’^rsrc/(? .*)$’, ‘django.views.static.serve’, {

’document_root’: settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
)

You cannot just append this to the bottom of your file. could someone give the corrected one? It throws more than one error regarding these lines.

I’m getting the same problem as darius.
The correct expression is: resources/(?P.*)$

It looks as though the browser is hiding some of it as it thinks it’s html mark up.

I found the solution here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

Note: Excuse the garbled message if that didn’t work but I was trying to put path within triangular brackets.

works great until:

(r'^resources/(? .*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})

...

>>> re.compile('^resources/(?.*)$') error: unexpected end of pattern

i placed the ‘?’ after: as in (.*?)

Hi, could you have a tutorial explaining how to pass a variable from views.py to a html file?

I am trying to make a ads rotation system. I am a php programmer and new to django and kinda new to python.

I would like to learn how I can get the ad graphic url from the database of google apps engine to the html file where the image tag is.

So their graphic ad shows. I am having trouble with this.
