Hi all, I am going through this tutorial on Tango with Django - http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/templates_static.html
I extracted the specific part of the tutorial as seen in *BOLD*. *4.4. The Static Media Server <http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/templates_static.html#the-static-media-server>* *Now that you can dispatch static files, let’s look at uploading media. Many websites provide their users with the ability to do this - for example, to upload a profile image. This section shows you how to add a simple development media server to your Django project. The development media server can be used in conjunction with file uploading forms which we will touch upon in Chapter 8 <http://www.tangowithdjango.com/book/chapters/login.html#login-label>.* *So, how do we go about setting up a development media server? The first step is to create another new directory called media within our Django project’s root (e.g.<workspace>/tango_with_django_project/). The new media directory should now be sitting alongside your templates and static directories. After you create the directory, you must then modify your Django project’s urls.py file, located in the project configuration directory (e.g.<workspace>/tango_with_django_project/tango_with_django_project/). Add the following code to the urls.py file.* It teaches about Static Media Server. Is this something that is still current? >From my understanding of the Official Django Tutorial and the Documentation, we can just use static files as seen here - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/howto/static-files/ Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
