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 = [

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.

Templates in Allauth registration for Django

¿How can i edit/fix the Allauth templates for login pages into Django 1.8?
I been reading about guides around and i don't find anything who resolves that.

Also this is my structure

Before take the files from git i got the pypi files for allauth(pip install).

I recommend you to create a project templates directory on the root of your project.
Then you can modify your TEMPLATES variable like this:
from os.path import join, normpath
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [
normpath(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',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
],
},
},
]
Then, you will need to create the folder accounts and inside of it create a login.html file to override allauth templates.
Hope it helps,

why would django not find templates for installed 3rd party apps that are in site-packages?

I recently spun off an old project and tried installing its apps (which worked) and also installing django-helpdesk/bootstrap_forms. But django could find neither helpdesk templates, or bootstrapform templates. My settings.py looks like:
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = 'key'
DEBUG = True
ALLOWED_HOSTS = []
INSTALLED_APPS = (

'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',

'index',
'taggit',
'helpdesk',
'bootstrapform',
)

'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
)
HELPDESK_PATH = "/home/cchilders/.local/virtualenv/new_bookmarks/lib/python2.7/site-packages/helpdesk/templates",
BOOSTRAPFORM_PATH = "/home/cchilders/.local/virtualenv/new_bookmarks/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bootstrapform/templates"
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates"),
"/home/cchilders/.local/virtualenv/new_bookmarks/lib/python2.7/site-packages/helpdesk/templates",

'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',

'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
STATIC_ROOT = '/home/cchilders/django_practice/new_bookmarks/static'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
I don't have an issue now, but am very confused as to why I had to manually do HELPDESK_PATH and BOOSTRAPFORM_PATH. The last time I spun this up, installing the apps worked out the box, with the same TEMPLATE configs. I have these installed:
Django==1.8.3
argparse==1.2.1
betterpath==0.2.2
django-bootstrap-form==3.2
django-extensions==1.5.5
django-helpdesk==0.1.16

simplejson==3.8.0
six==1.9.0
vcversioner==2.14.0.0
wsgiref==0.1.2
zope.interface==4.1.2
I am running a VE (like I was when it found templates) and packages are where expected:
~/.local/virtualenv/new_bookmarks/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bootstrapform/templates
When turning off the new URLS back to 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "templates"), ], I get
TemplateDoesNotExist at /helpdesk/
helpdesk/public_homepage.html
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
/home/cchilders/django_practice/new_bookmarks/templates/helpdesk/public_homepage.html (File does not exist)
and I don't get why it isn't checking the usual places. My VE works, if I deactive it I can't runserver due to missing packages like 'taggit'. What usually causes django to ignore site-packages and not look for templates beyond BASE_DIR/templates? Thank you
