Why is my Bootstrap settings not updated on my flask app?

by: erikvm, 8 years ago


Hi Sentdex,

I'm following along in your flask app and I can't get my bootstrap settings to actually change. I downloaded the jumbotron-narrow Bootstrap theme  and I got the following links to my different stylesheets:


<link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/bootstrap.min.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/jumbotron-narrow.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> 
    <link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/mystyle.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">


I'm simply trying to change the background color of a container so I went to my "mystyle.css" and added:


body {
  background-color: #000000;
}


and I still have no change in the jumbotron - am I doing something wrong? Is there something fundamental that I missed?

Thanks a lot

Did you add it to the beginning or the end of the CSS file?

Add what? The only thing "mystyle.css" contains is 


.jumbotron {
  background-color: black;
}


Is there some order that the sheets must go in or something?

If you meant in the "index.html" it looks like this:


<link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/bootstrap.min.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/jumbotron-narrow.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"> 
    <link href="{{ url_for('static',filename='css/custom.css') }}" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">


So at the end.
