But you don't need to set anything! As I said, generic views already have access to MEDIA_URL, as long as you don't remove it from the list of installed context processors. So I don't know why you want to define another variable called "media_url". Just use the existing upper-case one. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
