Re: Republish Static Files

These are my current settings:

STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    'absolute-path-to-static-dir'
)

Then I am accessing these files on my template by using {{STATIC_URL}} which works fine. But when I update any of the files, the changes do not show.
How would you use collectstatic in this case? When I use it, it copies all the static files in the static dir to one of my base folders of my project. Do I have to set STATIC_ROOT to the same directory as my staticfiles_dir?

Did you run collectstatic ?

Hello,

I have site that renders a chart using HighCharts with data from static csv files, as well as a link to download these files. I am developing locally using runserver.

However, when I alter the data, the changes are not reflected on the site, and when I download the files from the site, it gives me the old version of the data files. 

I am new to django and new to the concept of static files and web servers, but I read somewhere that static files may need to be 'republished' in order for viewers to see the changes on the web server. I don't know if this applies to django, but does anyone know why these changes in the files are not being reflected on the site at all?

Much appreciated.

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.
