> I've got an unusual situation with an app, and I'm wondering if anyone

> subdirectory of MEDIA_ROOT. I made it work by:
1) Create two separate media directories: /media/public and
/media/restricted
2) Configure Apache to serve /media/public directory directly
3) Configure Apache to serve the /media/restricted directory using
mod_python
4) Set a url entry in urls.py to e.g.:
(r'^media/restricted/(?P<path>.*)','myproject.myapp.views.view_restricted_media')
5) Create view_restricted_media as:
@restrict_to_superuser
def view_restricted_media(request,path):
return static.serve(request,path,RESTRICTED_MEDIA_DIR)
6) If you want to be able to set files from unrestricted to restricted
or the other way around, create a function to move the file from the
public media subdir to the restricted one and vice-versa.
The advantage of this approach is that you can restrict the media files
to whatever you may need, and the media files will still be available
in the admin interface.
