Application labels aren't unique, duplicates: staticfiles

I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm duplicating here. I'm trying to migrate my files so I can deploy on Heroku. It says that "staticfiles" is duplicated, but I can't see where the conflict is. Does migration need to be done in order to deploy? or is there something wrong with my database?

You need to set a static root which is where Django compiles the static files for serving in production when you run python manage.py collectstatic. The name must be different than the location of your static files in your project.
STATIC_ROOT = str(BASE_DIR.joinpath('staticfiles'))
See the docs for more info.

ImportError: No module named menu

I'm trying to customize the admin interface with django-admin-tools.
I'm following https://django-admin-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/customization.html
The menu.py has been created successfully with python manage.py custommenu in my project directory.
I have then renamed it to Mymenu.py
When I add ADMIN_TOOLS_MENU = 'project_name.Mymenu.CustomMenu' to my settings.py, as indicated I get the follwoing error: ImportError: No module named menu

ADMIN_TOOLS_MENU = 'myProject.Mymenu.CustomMenu'

I solved it by replacing ADMIN_TOOLS_MENU = 'project_name.Mymenu.CustomMenu' simply by ADMIN_TOOLS_MENU = 'Mymenu.CustomMenu'

I am assuming you have created the app using the following command,
python manage.py startapp custommenu
and then renamed the views.py to Mymenu.py
in that case you need to write custommenu in your installed apps instead of Mymenu

django 1.9 and registration/login.html

I'm working on a django 1.9 project.
With Django 1.7.7, login functionnalities was working, but now all the time I have : registration/login.html : Template Does Not Exist
The templates login.html, logout.html are present in 'webgui/template/registration/' and I didn't modified them.
Here some of my settings.py :
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/login/'
LOGOUT_URL = '/logout/'
DIRS = (
join(BASE_DIR, 'webgui/template/registration'),
join(BASE_DIR, 'webgui/template/')
)
And my urls.py :
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.views import login, logout
import webgui.views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^$', login, name='login.html'),
url(r'^login/$', login, name='login.html'),
url(r'^logout/$', logout, name='logout.html'),
url(r'^homepage/$', webgui.views.homepage),
url(r'^addproject/$', webgui.views.addproject)
]
What's wrong? I checked the Django docs, but that's the default behaviour.

This question appears first in search engine with searching for
registration/login.html : Template Does Not Exist
So for those coming through search engine, please note that this template doesn't come by default with Django. If you haven't created it, that's why you are getting this error
Here is how you can create a simple one
https://simpleisbetterthancomplex.com/tutorial/2016/06/27/how-to-use-djangos-built-in-login-system.html

Try to put your template dirs paths in DIRS list inside TEMPLATES setting. (Anyway, your template folder name should be templates not template.)
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [join(BASE_DIR, 'webgui/template/registration'),join(BASE_DIR, 'webgui/template/')],
'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',
],
},
},
]

After upgrading my django to 1.9.1, same thing happened to me. Apparently, there are updates on templates directory.
Here is how I fixed it.
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',
],
},
},
]
Of course you should have BASE_DIR defined
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
After that,I've deleted the templates folder and created a templates folder for each app. So, inside the each app, just create templates and put the html files inside.
Also in views, connect it to the html file like this.
def index(request):
context_dict = {}
return render(request, 'index.html', context_dict)
This worked for me.

You have set 'APP_DIRS': True,, so Django will search for templates directories inside each app in INSTALLED_APPS, including your webgui app.
The problem is that you have named your directory webgui/template/ instead of webgui/templates/, so the app loader won't find it.
The easiest fix is to rename your directory. If you don't want to do this, you'll have to add the webgui/template directory to your DIRS option.

No module named rest_authusers error

I am in the process of adding allauth to my project, following this tutorial:
http://django-allauth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html
When trying to make migrations I get the following error:
"ImportError: No module named rest_authusers"
My settings.py is as follows:

Am furthermore not sure how to fix this as there is no reference of authusers in my project files.

You simply forgot to put the comma after 'rest_auth' ;)

Getting TemplateDoesNotExist from Django 1.8

** I'm using Django 1.8. The templates feature has changed in this release of Django. Read more here Upgrading templates to Django 1.8**
This is bothering me because I've come across this issue and fixed it for one of my other projects, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix it this time around. I've gone through countless stackoverflow questions and tried to resolve the issue using the answers provided by I've had no luck. This is the error message I am getting:
Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value:
index.html
Exception Location: /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/template/loader.py in get_template, line 46
Python Executable: /usr/bin/python
Python Version: 2.7.6

It seems that is it looking in the wrong folder, it should be looking under Project1/templates according to my settings.py file:
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
TEMPLATE_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/templates/')

TEMPLATE_PATH,

},
},
]
My templates folder is in the root folder of my project. What's the issue here? I have given it a TEMPLATE_DIRS parameter, and used a proper BASE_DIR, which is what the majority of the answers recommend.

remove the slashes: TEMPLATE_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
See here
Things have changed with Django 1.8, in which the template system has been improved. See the release notes.
In your settings.py add:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [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',
],
},
},
]
the code above comes straight from one of my projects.
Feel free to use os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates') instead of catenating the strings.

1) If your route for templates is project_name/app_name/templates/app_name
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'app_name', 'templates', 'app_name')],
2) If your route for templates is project _name/templates or project_name/app_name/templates_only
'DIRS': [#leave it just empty, will work fine],
Note: 'template_only' means that templates/*.html there is no any folder inside templates.

I would try placing TEMPLATE_PATH in DIRS:
TEMPLATES =[
{....
'DIRS' : [TEMPLATE_PATH,],
....
