STATIC and MEDIA

[Jonathan Querubina]

Guys

What is the best way to configure and make accessible via URL the STATIC and the MEDIA uri?

I can`t seem to find a good way, and get so many errors for the both being equal.

Can someone send me an example of this configs?

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

the cleanest way I found:

at the beginning of your settings.py add

import os
BASE_PROJECT = os.path.dirname(__file__)

then when the section comes

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_PROJECT,'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_PROJECT,'static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

and in some cases I also add the static inside the apps like this

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or
"C:/www/django/static".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
os.path.join(BASE_PROJECT, 'newApp','static')
)

Julio,
