How to solve No module named 'django.contrib.staticfilespages' in Django?-CodePudding

I was studying from the book "Django for Beginners" by William S. Vincent. Whenever I try to run the code from chapter 2, Hello World App, I get "No module named 'django.contrib.staticfilespages' "

This question has already been asked by someone else on Django.fun but no answers there.

I can't find anyone else having a similar problem on the internet.

Also Pycharm is not showing any error to help me with this.

CodePudding user response：

In your installed apps:

I think you forgot to give comma after 'django.contrib.staticfiles',

And in templates in settings file

add this in templates:

'libraries' : {
                'staticfiles': 'django.templatetags.static', 
            }

EX:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
            'libraries' : {
                'staticfiles': 'django.templatetags.static', #Added here
            }
        },
    },
