I have searched the list and haven't found anything that directly addresses this. Forgive me if it is redundant.
The first question I have regards where to put media such as the .css files and related images which will define the style of my site. In the settings file, there are two locations which seem like reasonable fits: MEDIA_ROOT and ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX. After reading through the documentation, FAQs and this list, I came to the conclusion that MEDIA_ROOT is probably the more appropriate location for this type of file. Is this a correct assumption? Given that this is probably a common scenario (newbies wondering: where do I put my stylesheets?) should this be stated explicitly somewhere in the docs/tutorial/FAQ? Second, there is no clear method documented for graceful access to the MEDIA_ROOT inside of my application's templates. My problems arise because of differences between my development and production environments. For example, let's say that I'm serving media files from the following location on my development machine: http://127.0.0.1/media/ But on my production machine, it is served from here: http://media.myserver.com/ Changing a single config setting (MEDIA_ROOT) when I deploy seems reasonable to me. But changing my templates every time I deploy doesn't seem reasonable. So instead of doing something like this in my index.html template: <html> <head> ... <link href="http://127.0.0.1/media/style.css"; rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Style" /> ... </head> ... </html> I'd like to do something like this: <html> <head> ... <link href="{{ MEDIA_ROOT }}/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Style" /> ... </head> ... </html> Though I've searched high and low, I can't seem to find documentation that tells me how to do something like this. And like the above scenario, I can see a lot of newbies wanting to know how to do the same thing. Should this be added to the docs/tutorial/FAQ as well? Thanks in advance!
