I also had some issues with this when I first started learning Django. I remember following through the tutorials only to find that media wasn't working as I had expected. The problem was solved after visiting the IRC channel and receiving some sarcastic support from someone in there. I consider myself proficient with Django now, so this is not a problem, although one of the first things I do when I start a new Django app is change ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX to 'admin-media'. If this thread still means anything to the django devs, I am +1 on it. To me it seems like a minor backwards-incompatible change that would result in a more enjoyable experience for Django newcomers and it might as well be cleared up in the next major release. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
