Sorry, David, didn't mean to hijack your discussion! Looking over your original code, is it possible you need to use the += operator? So, you have your urlpatterns, and then you add one for the static media below:
urlpatterns = pattern('', # patterns for site here ) urlpatterns += patterns('' (r'^media_site/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), ) This depends on how you have thing set up...you look like you have: patterns('', ... etc... ), which won't do anything. You need to add it to the urlpatterns variable. By the way, breaking it out into two urlpatterns definitions might seem silly, but it also allows you to conditionalize the use of local static media in DEBUG mode, so it won't be used in production: urlpatterns = patterns('', # etc. ) if settings.DEBUG: urlpatterns += patterns('' (r'^media_site/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}), ) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
