according to the link http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
site_media is the URL where your media will be rooted and The file /
path/to/media/foo.jpg will be made available at the URL /site_media/
foo.jpg.
so i thought the file which is at ~/../djcode/myproject/static/pic.jpg
shd be available in template ~/../djcode/myproject/app/templates/
print.html file. So accordingly the value of site_media should be the
directory where the template resides, that was what i thought.
So you mean that site_media should be the directory where static files
of the project reside,( i.e., static in my case )and path/to/media
shoud be the total path to the place where the media lies (which is
also the same in my case).
This is quite a silly doubt, but sorry for the trouble, I'm still a
novice and not acquainted with the django conventions.
