How to create static pages

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

Media files

Edit root urls.py and change the last line in urlpatterns

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

flatpages

make sure staticfiles, sites, and flatpages are added

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.flatpages',
]

Don't forget SITE_ID = 1

Add entry to urls.py `path('pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),

settings.py

add site id anywhwere in settings.py

SITE_ID = 1

edit urls.py again

url(r'^pages/', include('django.contrib.flatpages.urls')),

python manage.py makemigrations python manage.py migrate

create directory for flatpages under template

flatpages/default.html:

Add the following tag to default.html

{{ flatpage.content }}

visit: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/flatpages/flatpage/add/

In the GUI add a new flatpage and change the following Fields

URL: /privacy/ Title: asdf Content: whatever html code you want Sites: example.com

Load all templates

Load all templates in the template you need to load {{ flatpages }}

{% load flatpages %}
{% get_flatpages as flatpages %}
<ul>
  {% for page in flatpages %}
    <li><a href="proxy.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2F%7B%7B+page.url+%7D%7D">{{ page.title }}</a></li>
  {% endfor %}
</ul>

file upload

Edit forms.py

from django import forms

class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
    title = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
    file = forms.FileField()

Handling uploaded files with a model

If you’re saving a file on a Model with a FileField, using a ModelForm makes this process much easier. The file object will be saved to the location specified by the upload_to argument of the corresponding FileField when calling form.save():

Template Truncation

This is a handy feature to grab a snipit of the body for your comments. This truncates the template model by 9 characters.

{{ value|truncatechars:9 }}

Settings.py correct settings for static_files

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
TEMPLATE_DIR=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates')
STATIC_DIR=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')
MEDIA_DIR=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media')
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL='/'

STATICFILES_DIRS=(
        os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'),
)
