Hi,
I want to further split my application from the project.
I've already put the templates inside the application directory.
Now I'm thinking of doing the same with media.
I think it's clearer if the media of the application is separate from the
project.
I'm not sure however if the application directory is the best place ?
I could also move the media outside the application or project directory.
Anyway, I've tried it but i don't succeed in doing this.
The media url results in an empty line in my template.
Some more info: my application is a calltracking system.
I have a settings_calltracking.py file that is imported at the end of the
settings.py file.
It contains some variables that are specific for the app.
I've added these lines to settings_calltracking.py
project_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
application_calltracking_path= os.path.join(project_path, "calltracking")
MEDIA_URL_CALLTRACKING = '/media_calltracking'
MEDIA_ROOT_CALLTRACKING = os.path.join(application_calltracking_path,
MEDIA_URL_CALLTRACKING)
The main media url's as specified in settings.py
MEDIA_URL = '/media'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(project_path, MEDIA_URL)
I'm using the dev server for development so my media urls are like this:
(r'^%s/(?P<path>.*)$' % settings.MEDIA_URL, 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True } ),
(r'^%s/(?P<path>.*)$' % settings.MEDIA_URL_CALLTRACKING,
'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root':
settings.MEDIA_ROOT_CALLTRACKING, 'show_indexes': True } ),
In my template i add this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="{{MEDIA_URL_CALLTRACKING}}/style/login.css" />
This results in an empty line.
If i print the MEDIA_ROOT_CALLTRACKING from the settings file or urls, it's
printed ok and it's correct.
I can access the media directly via
http://127.0.0.1:8000/media_calltracking/style/
Any idea why i get an empty line?
Is this possible with the dev server or would it be better to use Apache &
nginx (I'll use those for production)?
But then it would need to reload the files when changes are made.
Cheers,
Benedict
