[Fixed]-Pycharm + Django 1.3 + STATIC_URL in templates = Unresolved static reference

Go to Settings in Pycharm 2.73

Settings >> Project Setting >> Django

Enable the Django support and provide the paths for the three following files:

Project Root
Settings file
Manage.py file

When you have given these informations, close PyCharm and restart it.

The selected answer doesn’t work for me. What solved it is using a prefix in STATICFILES_DIRS:

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    # ...
    ("resources", "C:/data/django/myproject/myapp/static"), )

as documented in the django docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/contrib/staticfiles/

Then in your html template:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{%static 'resources/favicon.png' %}" type="text/css">

STATICFILES_DIRS works for

{% static "js/lib/jquery-1.8.2.min.js" %}

tag in template.
Not for {{ STATIC_URL }}js/lib/jquery-1.8.2.min.js
