Serving static files with whitenoise

[Richlue King]

Hi, I'm trying to upload my project to render.com and I need to set up the 
static files with whitenoise. However, when I run collectstatic, I keep 
encountering this error:

Post-processing 'assets\css\bootstrap.min.css' failed!

raise ValueError(
ValueError: The file 'assets/css/bootstrap.min.css.map' could not be found 
with 
Could somebody please help me with this?

Re: Serving static files in production

[David Nugent]

Don't think I ever used alias for this.

You could try something like this (works for me - this is a cut and paste
of an existing working config) though you may be a little more constrained
with names of directories:

server {
[... elided]

location / {

location ~ /static/ {
sendfileon;
tcp_nopush  on;
root/srv/approot;
}

location / {
proxy_set_headerHost $http_host;
proxy_set_headerX-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_headerX-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_redirect  off;
proxy_pass  http://;
}
}
[... elided]
}

Note that files being served are contained in the actual directory
/srv/approot/static, and you can serve media here also from the "media" dir
using

location ~ /(media|static)/ { ...

 I have set nginx to find static files in this file "staticfiles".

 This is the setting in settings.py file:

 STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
 STATIC_URL = 'static/'

 After running collectstatic command, my project can't still load the
 static files.
 Could I get a general way of going about this, without having to rely
 on a third party library like whitenoise?

 My appreciation in advance.

@Prosper,
I installed whitenoise at some point, but later removed its configuration.

Thanks for your response @David.
Here is my nginx configuration.[image:
1c9b64ec-c74f-4004-8b8d-9a6e7a3d8069.png]
Pointed it to staticfiles after running collectstatic files command.

Re: Serving static files in production

[David Nugent]

Ensure that nginx is correctly configured, since from what you have
provided the django configuration looks correct (although I generally use
/static/ as STATIC_URL - with the leading / but should work as you have
it). Check the nginx error log to try to discover the cause of the 404s. I
suspect that the location blocks are defined in the wrong order or the
directory pointing to the incorrect location.

In any case, whitenoise is not a bad solution tbh, and very flexible
besides. I would solve the above - which should work - before investigating
that further.

Serving static files in production

[Brian Odhiambo]

Hello everyone,
I am deploying a django project to a dedicated server.
I have set nginx to find static files in this file "staticfiles".

This is the setting in settings.py file:

STATIC_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles'
STATIC_URL = 'static/'

After running collectstatic command, my project can't still load the static 
files.
Could I get a general way of going about this, without having to rely on a 
third party library like whitenoise?

My appreciation in advance.

403 serving static files

[みやうち`]

Hi,

I'm trying to serve static files using nginx, but nginx gives following 
error.
- [error] 8202#8202: *10 open() "/home/user/myproject/media/xxx.jpg" failed

I've tried giving all users permission to this directory and it didn't 
change.
What is the cause?

I'm using mod_wsgi 4.7.1 and apache 2.4.
my apache setting is here.

Re: Django not serving static files with even after collectstatic

[Dylan Reinhold]

django does not (should not) serve your static files.
You want your web server to serve up those files, so you dont have the
overheard of url routing for files that don't need to run any python code
to display.

Django not serving static files with even after collectstatic

[Dennis Gathagu]

i'm having problems with django static files in production.I know django 
requires that you collectstatic during deployment, which i did. The real 
problem comes when i try to access my page on the browser and i get a 403 
forbidden error on all static files. I tried changing my permissions and 
ownership of var/www/html folders to 755 and files to 644 but still no 
luck. How do i make my static files load?





please advise me on what to do, i have been struggling with this problem 
for days now.

Re: Serving static files

[Ankush Thakur]

Hmmm. One argument I read supporting separate servers is that it would save
the main server a few socket connections. But this appears to be too little
of a gain. The approach of using a CDN, I think, is much more sensible.

Thanks once again, Tim!

Re: Serving static files

[Tim Graham]

The concerns about needing a separate server are likely overblown. In 
particular, Whitenoise is a popular solution for static file serving using 
Python. See its FAQ:

Re: Serving static files

[ludovic coues]

It's not that the framework will come to an halt. It's that a server
serving static file directly would be an order of magnitude faster.

https://unix4lyfe.org/time/hn.html is a nice article on how server
react to heavy load when serving static file.

Serving static files

[Ankush Thakur]

I keep hearing in the docs and in tutorials that frameworks are horrible
when it comes to service static files. In production, also, one needs to
set up another dedicated server to serve static files.

I'm wondering why. What is so special about serving static files that a
framework comes to a halt, even though the same framework can happily serve
thousands of requests per hour?

Ankush Thakur

Serving static files and media in Django 1.7.1

[Sithembewena Lloyd Dube]

Hi everyone,

I have a Django 1.7.1 project structured as per documentation. In it, I
have an app called "mainsite". In mainsite, I have
templates/mainsite/index.html and static/mainsite/bootstrap.css. In the
index template, I use {% load staticfiles %} and then for css I have the
following link:  However, when I load the page in the browser, the css
does not load and when in "view source" mode, I click the link href
("/static/css/bootstrap.css"). This generates a 404 error.

What am I missing? Any suggestions welcome.

P.S: I have the STATIC_URL = '/static/' setting defined in the settings
file.

Re: Serving static files (admin panel and others)

I find the problem. 


Problem was the file dir nginx looking for static file is different than I 
used for static file.

I changed the files location and it solved.

Django server and Apache serving static files

[pythonista]

My apache admin is having problems serving static files to the django app.


Apache is on its own server.

My admin says that he needs a relative path defined in Django in order to 
get Apache to serve the static files from that server for the Django App

Is it possible to define relative paths in the settings file to comply with 
the requirements of Apache?

And if it is possible can I still use the {%load staticfiles %}  variable.

If this is possible, what would the relevant settings file entries be?

Thanks

Newbie question on serving static files from apache

[pythonista]

I am using django 1.7 and apache.

I do not understand the instructions on the django tutorial.

The files were delivered as expected in debug mode and locally from the 
django web server.


Can someone provide me with a simple example or link to a site.

Thanks

Re: Serving static files from another directory rather than "statics"

[Chen Xu]

django-pipline looks good for me at first, and then I realize it copies
both the minified files and the original files (which I dont want). That is
why I wrote my own scripts.

Thanks

Serving static files from another directory rather than "statics"

[Chen Xu]

Hi Everyone,
I am working on a site, under my project in my local environment, I have a
directory called "static" (generated by django just like everyone else's)
to server my js and css. I wrote a script which minify all the js and css
files and copy them in a directory called "static_min" which is at the same
level as "static". When I try to include my css and js files from
"static_min", it show url not found.

And I tried the followeing:
in my settings: I changed the STATICFILES_DIRS as the following:

STATIC_ROOT = sys.path[0]

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'static'),
os.path.join(STATIC_ROOT, 'static_min')
)

I thought doing this will make Django to look for file in both static and
static_min, but it did not work.


Could someone help.

Thanks

How are you referencing the static in your template? Looks like a
mismatch in path. BugFixTracker isn't in /static according to your vhost
file. So shouldn't the url be:

fixtracker.com/static/main.css

Thanks,
Alex

Apache with mod_wsgi not serving static files

[Bryan P]

Hello all,

My Django application is not serving my static files (CSS, JS) and keeps 
returning a 404 error. I have set the STATIC_ROOT to the location where I 
collected all my static files with manage.py and set an alias in my 
VirtualHost. 


Here is my Settings.py

Here is my VirtualHost file

Here is the 404 file




and the url it's trying to retrieve them from i

fixtracker.com/static/BugFixTracker/main.css


This is running in production with debug set to False, so it shouldn't be 
relying on Django to distribute the files. Any help is much appreciated.

I am having an unbelievable time getting my new django application to

I have no idea why i still get 404 not found errors when the path is

If anyone can help, please let me know. i have spent way to long on this

First STATIC_ROOT setting means location where collectstatic collects 
are your static files using finders. Usually you have two finders used, 
firstone is FileSystemFinder that uses STATICFILES_DIRS to find static 
files. Both settings must be absolute path(s).


Note that STATIC_ROOT is not needed for runserver

And second one is AppDirectoriesFinder that finds static files under 
static/ -folder of your apps (including admin app).


Both are analoguous to template-serving.

MEDIA_ROOT is meant for user uploaded content.

STATIC_URL then gives root URL where static files are served. In testing 
/static/ is good one, in production you might want to do some 
optimizations there.


Now you should be able to get it working.

Re: Serving static files: Tried 3 ways with no luck

[Dylan Tuominen]

Yes make sure your STATICFILES_DIRS setting is pointing to the exact 
location you want to put them in, and then make sure all of the needed 
files are indeed being collected by manage.py collectstatic.

after that, assuming your static_url is set to /static/, you should have no 
problems referencing them, just make sure that you include the directory 
name in the url as well(e.g. localhost:8000/static/styles/style.css). 

I usually setup my staticfiles_dirs to go into project/project/staticdump, 
just make sure you're letting django do all of the collection and you 
aren't placing files in STATIC_ROOT yourself.

serving static files

[Shawn Milochik]

I want to allow certain users to download files uploaded by other users.

I found django-protected-files[1] and django-private-files[2], both of 
which look like they do the job. The latter is more recent and is on 
Read The Docs, so it's probably the way to go.


Before I start reviewing the code and implementing, does anyone have any 
suggestions? Is there a "top dog" for this need?


Thanks,
Shawn

Re: Serving static files weirdness

[neridaj]

Got it working by changing the following:

STATIC_ROOT = ''
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/
static".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static'),
)

Re: Serving static files weirdness

Hi,

If you want help, you'll need to provide more information. What django version, 
what env (wsgi, devserver), what's your admin media and so on.

Xavier.

Serving static files weirdness

[neridaj]

I had my static files being served form media i.e., the tree looked
like this:

media/
/css
/js
/images

with this in my url conf:
if settings.SERVE_MEDIA_FROM_DJANGO:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': r'media'}),
(r'^tiny_mce/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{ 'document_root': r'media/js/tiny_mc' }),
)

I then switched it to this:

static/
/css
/js
/images

with this in my url conf:
if settings.SERVE_MEDIA_FROM_DJANGO:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': r'static'}),
(r'^tiny_mce/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{ 'document_root': r'static/js/tiny_mc' }),
)

I don't understand why changing media to static has stopped django
from serving static files, any ideas?

Cheers,

J

Are you sure you have that urlpattern in your project's urls.py rather than

serving static files

[snippetmaker]

I admit that I am not so sure about how regular expressions work, I
need to spend some time on these.

I was trying to follow http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/static-files/

I did everything that the page said to no avail, in the end I changed

(r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),


to

(r'site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),

i mean i removed starting ^ in hope that the regular expression will
ignore if something is extra in the start and it worked.

Can somebody explain to point to somewhere that explains?

I suspect it is trying to load
/Users/roy/dev/try.django/mysite/staticsite.css'. Try adding a '/' to
the end of your document root, or capturing the initial '/' as part of
the path in your urlconf.

Problems with serving static files

[Roy Smith]

I'm running r15624, OSX-10.6.5, Python-2.6.1

In my top-level urls.py, I have:

# Serve static
files
(r'^static/(?P.*)$',
 'django.views.static.serve',
 {'document_root': '/Users/roy/dev/try.django/mysite/static',
  'show_indexes': True}),

If I go to http://localhost:8000/static/, I see a listing of my only
static file:

Index of /
site.css

but when I click on the site.css link, I get a 404 ('site.css' could
not be found).  Any ideas what might be going wrong?

We serve our static content from Amazon S3, it's much easier to setup and use.

The 'cold start' could be a problem. But if you pay $9/month to 'AlwaysOn'
feature, it's ok.
I am using without 'AlwaysOn', with a little 'workaround' and with an
agressive cache, it's very good.

Serving static files

[shwetanka]

Hi

Below is my code:

MEDIA_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_DOC_ROOT = 'C:/djangotest/codificador/static/'

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns(' ',
  (r'^static/(?P.*)$', 'django.static.views.serve',

Does the computer running Django have access to a directory which is served
by the media.example.com webserver?  If it does, then just set MEDIA_ROOT to
point to that directory, and any file uploaded for a FileField will be saved
there.

Then configure the media.example.com webserver to serve files from that
directory and all will be well.

You'll end up with:

/a/directory/visible/to/www/and/media - contain the files (point MEDIA_ROOT
here)
www.example.com - Django runs here, will have URLs for any uploaded file
pointing to http://media.example.com/ (from MEDIA_URL)
media.example.com - Apache or whatever serving up files from the directory
above.

Obviously if both servers are on the same box then making a directory appear
in both places is easy.  If not, then you'll have to use some form of
network filesystem to get the files between the boxes.

Hope this helps,

Malcolm

it will be saved in media.example.com.
This is the point that I don't understand :-\

If just part of the output HTML, all you need to do is go through your
templates and change the paths in the URLs to point to
media.example.comrather than
www.example.com.  For bonus points, change them to use {{ MEDIA_URL
}}/path/to/image and pass MEDIA_URL into your template functions.

MEDIA_ROOT needs to be a directory path, not a URL - it's where Django will
store uploaded files for any ImageField members.

Serving static files from subdomain.

[nameless]

I have a site developed with django at www.example.com

I want that django insert/serve static files ( images, css, js, ect )
in/from media.example.com.

I have edited settings.py:

MEDIA_ROOT = 'http://media.miosito.it'

MEDIA_URL =  'http://media.miosito.it'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX =  'http://media.miosito.it'


And now ? What do I do ?
.

I am using Apache but I could switch to lightpd or ngix ( if there is
a valid reason ).


Thanks ^^

I really want the match string to start with a / hence ^/ and then any

\.js  so I reckon it should be ^/.+\.js


AliasMatch (^/.+\.js) /srv/www/ccm/htdocs/static/js/$1

This is now finding tiny_mce according to FireBug BUT it isn't 
displaying the usual editing controls so there must be something else amiss.


Back to the drawing board I guess

Re: Problem with serving static files

[igor]

>>> urls.py:
>>> urlpatterns = patterns('',
>>> (r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
>>> (r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
>>> {'document_root': '/mysite/media/'}),
>>> )

Since I always start Django in its "root" directory, I put something like:

import os
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
 {'document_root': os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'public', 'site_media'}
)

Then I created a "public/site_media" directory in the project's root
directory:

$ mkdir -p public/site_media

And restarted Django.

Hope this helps.

Re: Problem with serving static files

The document root specified in urlpatterns should match the directory
where your files are located.  You have "/mysite/media/" in your
urlpatterns and "C:\django_projects\mysite\media" in your post.  Make
sure those match.

Problem with serving static files

[Benjamin W.]

Hi there,

I'm new to django and got my first little problem.
I want to use a css file in my template. So I read this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

I set up everything, but I don't get the file.
My config:

urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
(r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/mysite/media/'}),
)


base.html (css include)



Path to media:
C:\djanjo_projects\mysite\media

When I open the source code of the page and click on the stylesheet, I
get this information:
Request URL:http://127.0.0.1:8080/site_media/css/design.css
/mysite/media/css/design.css does not exist

Whats wrong with my pass?
Thanks a lot,
greets Ben

unable to render images in development server despite following instructions on serving static files

[djangonoob]

hi all, what i am trying to do is as follows (development server ):
1) upload an image to my media/userimage/ directory and save the
location in mysql ( this is successful )
2) retrive the image by showing on a generated html page. But my image
is not showing as if the tag src url is wrong.

However, if i were to right click and copy the generated url of my
image and paste it on a new browser window, the image shows up.

Details of my code is found here:
http://dpaste.com/66164/

I've followed the instructions on 
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
and tried various methods for images ( in views.y ) such as:

images_to_view.image
images_to_view.image.url
images_to_view.image.path

All three could not work.


Any advice on how i can fix this problem?

Best Regards.

Serving static files with complex auth permissions

[Todd Gardner]

Hello django-users!

  I'm making a "google docs"-like service for users to create and
share documents with other users. I'd like to serve the documents
directly from apache authenticating against the django session. I've
read http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/apache-auth/ and the
excellent patch at http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/3583, but as
far as I understand, the current implementation only allows
authentication based on staff, superuser, or a single static
permission, but as every document would need it's own permission, this
wouldn't work for a more complex auth system.

  So my questions are:
1) Is there a way to do this currently in django? and if not,
2) I've rolled my own (attached below), a modification on the patch on
#3583. It treats the authentication like a view that returns True or
False. So if the patch is installed, you would add:

*mysite/settings.py
ROOT_AUTH_URLCONF = 'mysite.auth_urls'

*create mysite/auth_urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.conf import settings

urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^media/authorized/mymodule/', include
('mysite.mymodule.auth_urls')),
)

*create mysite/mymodule/auth_urls.py:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

urlpatterns = patterns('mysite.mysite.authers',
   (r'^documents/(?P[^/]+)$', 'document_auther'),
)

*create mysite/mymodule/authers.py:
from mysite.mymodule.models import Document

def document_auther(request, filename=None, *args, **kwargs):
  #  Here I can perform any logic like a normal view, with access
to request.user

(trimmed a bit for simplicity, a full solution would probably use
uuids on the filepath). So, is this a good idea/would people be
interested in this?

Thanks for reading,
Todd Gardner

That is incorrect, the named colors are all specified in 24bit RGB
values as part of the CSS spec. No renderer deviates from those values.

Thanks.

I was just trying to get the stylesheet to show up.  I have a full CSS
template I got from somewhere else that I'll be using now that it's
being successfully pulled in.

See if it helps changing your code and CSS as follows (basically
making it XHTML compliant - not sure what you're aiming at
specifically with what you've done):



Test paragraph.


p.baseline {
color: green;
border: solid red;
}

Also just another tip: it is a good idea to not use named colour
values ("green" / "red" etc.) as each CSS rendering engine might
interpret it differently.  For green you could use: "color: rgb(0,
255, 0);" and for red you could use: "color: rgb(255, 0, 0);".

That was it!  Thanks, I thought "baseline" was just a variable name I
could use.

I appreciate your time on this.

Serving Static Files - Pics work, but CSS doesn't

[Anthony]

Hello,

I'm pretty new to CSS as well as Django, so I'm sure I'm doing
something simple wrong.  Anyway, I'm able to serve up a test pic that
I placed in the media folder, but I can't get the html to use the CSS
template.



My Site




Test paragraph.



My CSS file looks like this:

P.baseline {
color : green;
border : solid red;
}

The picture shows up, but the text doesn't turn green like I think it
should.

Any help would be appreciated!

Re: serving static files

[google torp]

Hi.

You misunderstood the docs a bit, I c/p'ed the url-conf bit here:

(r'^site_media/(?P.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),

The problem here that is also causing the error is that the file name
should be
a variable and not hardcoded for every file, so instead of default.css
you should
instead have (?P.*). This is part of the argument that serve
will take, which
it uses to find the right file to serve. That is why the error is
saying:
erve() takes at least 2 non-keyword arguments (1 given)
the 2nd arguement that it expect is the document root.

Hope this clear things up for you

The way you should have done it right from the start (but this is not
heaviliy documented): using the media context processors:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/?from=olddocs#django-core-context-processors-media

Install the media context processor, make sure you always use
RequestContext instances in your views, and use 'href="{MEDIA_URL}css/
style.css"' in your templates.

This will also work in development using django.views.static.serve():

I do tests using development server and everything is OK. But now, the

I mean, using the development server the href to a css file is as

Just for the record : is there any reason you don't use the builtin
development server ?

???

You don't have to do url matching within django to serve static
content - unless using the development server, that is. Did you try
commenting out this line from your urls.py file ?

Problems serving static files with Apache and mod_python

[Javi]

Dear group,

sorry for starting another thread on this issue. I've seen loads of
messages with similar but particular problems.
My system:
* apache2 (2.2.9-10)
* libapache2-mod-python  (3.3.1-5)
* python-django (1.0-1)

My project is located at:  ~/Desktop/csl2-sdocente/src/candidateTool
and the app I'm trying to make work is called assessmentSystem,
obviously at ~/Desktop/csl2-sdocente/src/candidateTool/
assessmentSystem.

The static files are located at ~/Desktop/csl2-sdocente/src/
django_media/ and match with the url 'r'^static/(?P.*)$'

I'd like to display the app at localhost, so my httpd.conf looks like:


SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE candidateTool.settings
PythonOption django.root /
PythonDebug On
PythonPath "['/home/peris/Desktop/csl2-sdocente/src/', '/home/
peris/Desktop/csl3-sdocente/src/django_media'] + sys.path"


Alias /static /home/peris/Desktop/csl3-sdocente/src/django_media

Allow from all



SetHandler None



SetHandler None


But there's no way I can't load the css and images files. Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help guys. I'm guessing javascript files are also
considered static, since they're referenced by the HTML as well?

If you are using Apache you can use mod_rewrite.

You may find this useful:

You should have apache serve the static content because its much
faster. The link I sent you is when I was having problems with it a
few weeks ago, basically you need to set the apache directives so that
for static files the handler is set to none, if you read through that
and use the examples (the ones at the bottom, the ones at the top
where my original attempts) I think you will be able to get a feel of
whats going on. If you struggle with anything let me know. You should
know i'm no expert though.

Andrew

Serving static files?

[Robert]

Hi,

I just got done reading through the 4 django tutorials and they were
very helpful. However, I did not find out through the tutorials alone
how to serve CSS files along with my HTML. I was told in IRC that
these are not directly handled by django.

Basically, my main concern is keeping my website source code
centralized. At the moment, I keep my django project & respective apps
in Subversion, and I want my static files (CSS) to be in there with
the rest of the django files.

Having said this, I'm not sure how to configure apache to look for
those CSS files. Say my django project is in /srv/django/myproject,
and my document root is in /srv/http, what must be done? If this is
covered in the documentation, I apologize for wasting the community's
time and would appreciate a direct link to the materials I need to
read.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: serving static files with apache on windows with mod_python

Hi All,
I have been trying to setup django on windowsxp with mod_python.
I have got mod_python3.3.1 running on Apache2.
My django project is also running except for the media files which are
giving me quite a headache
i have added

...
...

to the apache httpd.conf file
but when i turn off debug in the settings file as well as turning
PythonDebug Off in the httpd.conf,
my media files (css,images,...) disappear.
I have also done

SetHandler None

as well as

SetHandler None

I have read that my media files should be symlinked to my apache docroot,
and got a tool 'junction' for doing that
on winnt. however, i could not make head or tail of it as the docs are not
very clear to me
Can somebody help me please?
Also have been trying to get #django on ircnode ercently but can't, any
reasons?

My guess is you are interfering with your admin_media (look at the
admin_media_prefix setting).
Try using something like r'^sitemedia/... and src="/sitemedia/...".

It sounds like you haven't read the template documentation:

http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/

That explains all about variable access, filters and the syntax.

Re: How fix the "feature" of not serving static files?

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

I think so...

In the other hand, maybe I must borrow other concept from dotnetnuke.

Leveraging the template system, I have:

templates\basetemplateshere.htm
templates\blog\blogtemplateshere.html

Maybe if I go this way:

templates\Site1\customizedbase.html
templates\Site1\blog\customizedblogtemplateshere.html

And this way, I don't need code nothing and need only standarize in
settings that mediaroot include templates (for get css, img). Or if i
need inject something here, I can get anything flexible (anyway, I'm
for a cms for designers)

What think?
