Excellent. That functionality is exactly what I was looking for. May I suggest that this feature be more explicitly covered in the documentation. The existing documentation is great if you know exactly what you are looking for. For a newbie struggling with where to put his/her stylesheets and how to access them, this would be nearly useless (for example, my searches for related terms turned up nothing).
Unfortunately, I had already walked through the steps Leo pointed out. At least I'm more familiar with contexts and context processors now. :) Taft On Oct 24, 11:49 am, "Jonathan Buchanan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 10/24/07, Leo Shklovskii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > You also want to look here for a suggestion on how to access > > settings.MEDIA_URL: > > >http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/jun/14/django-tips-template-context... > > > I know (at least one of) the ticket(s) for embedding access to the > > MEDIA_URL in the default context has been closed as wontfix, but I think > > that this is a pretty significant feature that Django forces new users > > to figure out how to do their own way.
