in the view:
from django.conf import settings

and send settings.MEDIA_ROOT to the template

or build a templatetag to do the same thing.

All good points thanks. I'm only experimenting and learning so this
won't hit production. Point taken though. :)

MEDIA_ROOT is a file-system location, not a URL-space location, and
should not be exposed in templates. It is nonsense to use media root
as a prefix to the URL-space location of your javascript files.

Stoge, you DO need MEDIA_URL in turn to build the URL in which script src
is based on.

MEDIA_ROOT is the (complete) physical path to the file. Do you want to
expose your filesystem?

Oh that's surprising; the media context processor only creates
MEDIA_URL.

Accessing MEDIA_ROOT in templates, always blank/missing

[Stodge]

I'm trying to reference MEDIA_ROOT in my template but it's blank. I
have MEDIA_ROOT defined in settings.py:

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__)),
'static')

I have the correct context processor:

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSOR = (
'django.core.context_processors.i18n',
'django.core.context_processors.auth',
'django.core.context_processors.media',
)

In my template:

MEDIA_ROOT: {{MEDIA_ROOT}}

But all I see is:

MEDIA_ROOT:

So MEDIA_ROOT is blank or doesn't exist. Did I miss something? This is
Django 1.2.3, thanks. Oh and I realise there is a newer version of
Django out there but I can't upgrade my app... yet..

Thanks again
