Hi Thomas, as you can see in django docs (http://
docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#setting-MEDIA_URL)
MEDIA_URL --> it's just the url where your media (static content)
resides.
it can be a complete url (http://....) or a reference to your
current domain (/media/)
So in the templates you can just use:
<link href="{{MEDIA_URL}}css/base.css" rel="stylesheet" />
MEDIA_ROOT --> absolute path to the directory that holds the media
for better portability I would advise you to use _base =
os.path.dirname(__file__) instead of the complete hardcoded path
Hope it's clear now :)
