I am creating a django project using HTML5, and CSS,.
while extending the base.html to other files ,when I load in a new css file, it (obviously) overrides the one I'm using to style the page, and therefore most of the elements are affected like a tag and others. so is there Limit scope of external css to only a specific file.?
Please tell me some solution i am a beginner and i am frustrated by this

I'm busy making a documentation page in my Django project and would like to make a dynamic page where theres a sidenav with links but if you click on a nav item it loads the page within the "master page aka the documentation page" without leaving that page
like so https://www.nbinteract.com/tutorial/tutorial_github_setup.html
I have created the side nav etc and it's working fine and linked my first URL to a nav item but if you click on the nav item, it opens that .html file instead of loading it within the main documentation page.
I would like to find a way to do it with Django only and not JavaScript if possible, any guidance would be appreciated.
Yes, this could be a silly question but please don't flame me about learning how to do stuff :)
The site you linked uses Javascript and you will need to use Javascript as well if you want to update only portions of the client-page with new data from the database.
Is there a way to add Div Block, Headers and other elements Django/Python's static folder?
I thought this would be simple, just use the same general formatting as I did with the stylesheet from the Django tutorial but I couldn't get it to work. Not sure if I'm on the right path of the most optimal way to set it up.
<title>"{% static 'polls/blah.txt' %}" /> </title>
Basically I am trying to make it so that all of my html pages can be altered by changing only one file rather than going into each page and changing the title or other text that might appear on each page.
This is called "Template Inheritance" and is covered very thoroughly in the docs.
To achieve this, you can either set up a base template with blocks that can be overridden in child templates that extend the base. Or you can create template "partials" and include them in your other templates.
Does anybody have any experience rendering web pages in weasyprint that are styled using twitter Bootstrap? Whenever I try, the html renders completely unstyled as if there was no css applied to it.
I figured out what the problem was. When I declared the style sheet i set media="screen", I removed that tag element and it seemed to fix it. Further research indicated I could also declare a separate stylesheet and set media="print".
Hi I am totally new to web development frameworks .I am currently learning python and django from the Django project tutorial..
My (rather dumb) question is when I am done with the small "poll" website will I be able to modify the front end of this project using HTML/CSS ?
Also, should I use tools like Dreamweaver to do that ? or are there other ways ?
Of course you will be able. That is the point of the web frameworks to let you build the whole application including frontend.
You'll get it all once you finish the tutorial. You'll see that Django has very nice templating language that allows you to build a html page according to data you get from your application.
<h1>{{ section.title }}</h1>
This result in normal HTML page in the end. And of course you can write any kind of CSS for those pages to get whatever look for your page you like.
Yes you can, you'll need to edit the templates in the location specified by TEMPLATE_DIRS. The templates are just html mixed with some python code to fill the content.
I'm building a Pylons application using evoque as our templating engine, though I think my question is relevant to other template engines. I have a base template that I'm using for our pages, and that base template does all the includes for CSS and Javascript files. I'd like to perform conditional test to include/exclude CSS and Javascript files based on the actual page being display. Is there a way to access the routes information from the template, in other words to get the /{controller}/{action} information? This would allow me to get only the relevant CSS and Javascript files for that page based on the controller/action combination.
Thanks in advance,
Doug
You can pull the controller and action information from environ['pylons.routes_dict']['controller'] and ['action'].
I'm not sure if environ is passed into the tmpl_context by default, but if not, you can just add something like this to the BaseController.__before__ method:
c.routes_dict = environ['pylons.routes_dict']
Then reference c.routes_dict['controller'] in your template.
