I'm having trouble applying a js file inside my django template

Using Django Templates & Frontend
1

I’m learning the thing with Django and I’m trying to adapt a bootstrap template for the index page

I have it as follows

At home.html

<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  
 
  

  <title>{{title}}</title>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro:300,400,400i,700&display=fallback">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'lib/AdminLTE-3.2.0/plugins/fontawesome-free-6.4.0/css/all.min.css' %}">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'lib/AdminLTE-3.2.0/css/adminlte.min.css' %}">
  <script src="{% static 'lib/AdminLTE-3.2.0/plugins/jquery/jquery.min.js' %}"></script>
  
  <script src="{% static 'lib/AdminLTE-3.2.0/plugins/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js' %}"></script>
  <script src="{% static 'lib/AdminLTE-3.2.0/js/adminlte.min.js' %}"></script>
  <script src="{% static 'lib/sweetalert2-9.10.0/sweetalert2.all.min.js' %}"></script>
  <script src="{% static 'js/functions.js' %}"></script>


  
  {% block head %}
  
  {% endblock %}
</head>


{% block body %}

{% endblock %}
</html>

In index.html

{% extends 'home.html' %}

{% load static %}

{% block head %}
    
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="{% static 'homepage/images/favicon.png' %}" />

In the marked marker, that js function of .testimonial-slider is not executed

On the other hand, if I place that function within testimonial.html if it works for me, I do not understand why.

I appreciate your help, I am new to Django and was not familiar with javascript.

My guess here would be that the script in homepage/js/script.js starts executing before the all the HTML elements are loaded. If that’s the case you can either

  1. Load the script after elements are loaded, i.e. putting
    <script src="{% static 'homepage/js/script.js' %}"></script> after {% include 'testimonial.html' %}
  2. Force the script to load AFTER the HTML has loaded by moving the code inside $(window).on('load', function () { ....

Also I just noticed that you have your Google API key in the code, which is not good practice. You can use environment variables - reading it in views.py and passing it as context.
Also I’d highly suggest disabling this key and getting a new one since this one is public now in the forum and anyone can use it, costing you.
