Bootstrap Django - Sowmya - Mar-16-2024

Hi all.
I want to add nav bar to my Django project. So I copied Html code from Bootstrap to my Django Html. It worked properly.
So, the Youtuber said don't use bootstrap css .They gave bootstrap css & js files . I loaded it in my Django folder , and I changed Django html file like
{% load static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/bootstarp-grid.css' %}">
But I am not getting CSS style to my website.
Please anyone can help to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your support!


RE: Bootstrap Django - tahirahmedd - May-20-2024

create a static folder and create another folder called css inside the static and paste your bootstrap file into css folder:

static folder must be in the root folder of your project :

like this:

myproject/
└── myproject/
└── registration/
└── static/
└── templates/
├── db.sqlite3
├── manage.py

Now change your static settings look like this:

Now add the following codes to your settings.py file to set up the Django static files.

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')


now in your head section: link your css file like this:
<link href="static/css/bootstarp-grid.css" rel="stylesheet">

Hope it will work fine. for further more tutorial in detail you can check out my blog past as well or dm me:
