Question
Django Admin JS 404 and Uncaught TypeError
I am almost done building my website but while creating an autogenerating slug in Django admin, I found it to be unresponsive. When i looked at the console of my browser i saw a lot of JS error warnings. The nginx is correctly sending the css files, but there seem to be issues with respect to admin js files.
