Django messages not displaying message

I'm trying to use django messages to notify user if form was submitted successfully or not. But nothing pops up when I submit the form no matter what. I've gone through the views.py code and template and I don't seem to anything wrong. I've even tried changing the default messages backend storage to session yet nothing.
MESSAGE_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.messages.storage.session.SessionStorage'
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render, HttpResponse, HttpResponseRedirect, redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from .forms import MyUserCreationForm
import bcrypt
def register(request):
if request.method == "POST":
# Populate form using submitted data
form = MyUserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
# Clone form model
user = form.save(commit=False)
password = user.password
# Validate password length
if len(password) > 25:
messages.error(
request, "PASSWORD MUST BE LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO 25 CHARACTER LENGTH")
# Hash user password
bytes = password.encode('utf-8')
salt = bcrypt.gensalt()
hash = bcrypt.hashpw(bytes, salt)
# Save modified form to database
user.password = hash
user.save()
messages.success(request, "ACCOUNT CREATED SUCCESSFULLY!")
messages.add_message(request, messages.INFO,
'Thanks for reaching out! We will be in contact soon!',
extra_tags='ex-tag')
return redirect('register')
# Create empty form
form = MyUserCreationForm()
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})

Documentations:
If you’re using the context processor, your template should be
rendered with a RequestContext. Otherwise, ensure messages is
available to the template context.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/messages/#displaying-messages
you don't send messages or RequestContext in your context:
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form})
Probably it should be something like that:
return render(request, 'register.html', {'form': form, 'messages':get_messages(request)})

How can I redirect a user from the login page to the signup page in a different app Django?

So, I have been trying to do this problem for a couple of days, but I seem to be having no luck, in actually solving it.
For my side-project, I am creating a student grade management system in Django, and the problem that I am getting is that everytime the user clicks on the signup button on the homepage/login page, I get an error, because I haven't re-routed the user successfully. Specifically, the error I get is that it says, Page not Found.
The page that I am trying to re-route the user to is in another app. So, I'm trying to route the user to the base url of that app, which from there, it will pop open a view.
Here is the code for my urls.py on the loginpage/homepage (App1)
from django.urls import re_path
from django.shortcuts import redirect
# import signUpPage.views as signupview
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
re_path(r'^$', views.login, name='login'),
# re_path('signUpPage', signupview.register, name='signUpPage')
# re_path('')
]
Here is the code for my forms.py on the loginpage/homepage (App1)
from crispy_forms.helper import FormHelper
from crispy_forms.layout import Fieldset, Layout
class loginForm(forms.Form):
UserName = forms.CharField(
label="Username",
help_text="Please enter your username",
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={"placeholder":"Username"}),
required=False
)
Password = forms.CharField(
label="Password",
help_text="Enter your password",
widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={"placeholder":"Password"}),
required=False
)
Here is the code for my views.py on the loginpage/homepage (App2)
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect, HttpResponseRedirect
from . forms import loginForm
from django.urls import re_path
from signUpPage.views import register
# from .models import <Insert whatever it is you want to import, but it might not be nexessary>
def login(request):
if request.method == "POST":
redirect('signUpPage')
if request.POST.get("signup"):
register()

form = loginForm(request.GET)

in your urls.py file, you can add a constant with the name app_name="app_name" and in your HTML link or button, you can simply use the url tag like {% url app_name:path_name %}.
It tells the Django which specific urls.py file you are talking about.

Django Static file not loading ImageField URL

This is for an assignment, we need to store the images in the static directory and display them on a template. The images are stored through the item model ImageField and uploaded to the static/images directory.
Here is the template code:
{% load static %}
<p><a href='..'>Home</a></p>
{% block content %}
<table>
<tr>
<th>Item Name</th>
<th>Manufacturer</th>
<th>Cost</th>
<th>Weight</th>
<th>Image</th>
</tr>
{% for i in name %}
{% if i.name == params %}
<tr>
<td>{{i.name}}</td>
<td>{{i.manufacturer}}</td>
<td>{{i.cost}}</td>
<td>{{i.weight}}</td>
<td><img src="{% static i.image.url %}" alt="{{i.image.url}}"></img></td>
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
</table>
{% endblock %}
I have the following model code:
from django.db import models
class item(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
manufacturer = models.CharField(max_length=255)
cost = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
weight = models.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='static/images/')

Currently, everything is displaying properly from the model class, however the images will not load after trying a million different tags for the img src. We are supposed to use static so please do not suggest using media directory for the images.
Thank you for the help.

Assuming in your views.py you have:
name = item.objects.all()
and then that the variable name is passed to your template,
try to substitute this
<td><img src="{% static i.image.url %}" alt="{{i.image.url}}"></img></td>
With this
<td><img src="{{ i.image.url }}" alt="{{i.image.url}}"></img></td>
However, I would suggest you to call the name variable by something more representative, like objects_list, then you will have
{% for i in objects_list %}
{% if i.name == params %}
<tr>
<td>{{i.name}}</td>
<td>{{i.manufacturer}}</td>
<td>{{i.cost}}</td>
<td>{{i.weight}}</td>
<td><img src="{% static i.image.url %}" alt="{{i.image.url}}"></img></td>
</tr>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
this is way more clear.

Django Session variables not updating properly

I am trying to figure out how sessions work. Basically I am trying to make a restaurant menu and store ordered food into session for further use. However, I ran into a problem and I cant figure out what might be the problem.
The problem is that if I submit the form 1st time. The success view shows the correct data.
I click Submit (pridat) and it works correctly
The output is:
('2', 1)
Where number 2 is food ID and 1 is the quantity.
Then I go back to the menu and I want to update the quantity to lets say 3
I change quantity (mnozstvo) to 3 and submit
But the output is still:
('2', 1)
The weirdest thing that has me confused is the fact that for example different food, even though it should be generated the same way works and updates just fine.
If I want to "order" multiple things it works fine with some and sometime one or multiple just refuse to update properly. As I am writing this 3 out of 4 works just fine.
('3', 5)('4', 8)('1', 15)('2', 1)
I can change 3-5, 4-8 and 1-15 but the 2-1 just never ever changes.
If I restart the built in django server sometimes different pair does not update properly. This time it is 2-1 but I also had an issue that 3-5 would not update.
So I would be really happy if someone could tell me what am I doing wrong? I know I am not letting django generate form but I rather do it manually in html, but that should not be the problem, should it?

Django: Static files don't show up in the website despite being referenced correctly

I've spent the entire day trying to figure out why the static files don't appear on the website despite being referenced correctly. My base template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>{% block title %}Sinergia Creativa{% endblock %}</title>
{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{% static 'favicon.ico' %}"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Satisfy' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'publicidad/style.css' %}"/>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse">
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#topNavBar">

<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{% url 'publicidad:index' %}">Sinergia Creativa</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">

I have another project that is configured the same way and that one works so I'm puzzled.
My main problem is that the static files aren't being loaded at all despite actually being referenced and found without issues. I've used findstatic in the manage.py shell and it found them at the correct location. I used Firebug to look at what was being referenced at it was the correct path throwing me this
<link href="/static/publicidad/style.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
Reload the site to obtain the source code of: http://localhost:800/static/publicidad/style.css
I don't know what else to do. Other project worked fine under those settings. Let me know if you need any other information from the project.
Cheers, Datkros.

I don't see at settings.py define static file. Add more setting into settings.py (in my case static folder is in my project)
import os.path
# Additional locations of static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".
# Always use slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
# ('static', os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')),
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
