Regarding Django 1.4... I recently came across a post that suggests that the way I'm managing static files is "wrong". I wanted to make sure I'm clear on things.
In development, static files are in the "static" folders both within apps at the project level. STATIC_URL = '/static/' When I deploy a project, the collectstatic command copies *from* these directories to a public folder on my static asset domain. STATIC_URL = ' http://static.foobar.com/', STATIC_ROOT = "/var/www/static.foobar.com" Therefore, the "static" folder in my project directory is added to STATICFILES_DIRS. Is that wrong? It was suggested that I'm supposed to be collecting static files *to* the "static" folder--but that seems strange to me as I don't want to collect static assets into my version controlled source tree. Secondly, I've heard that we should be using the static template tag and not the STATIC_URL context variable. I see the advantages of using the template tag, but, it's not wrong to use STATIC_URL right? It's not deprecated or anything?
