If you are using the django development server whilst developing then
you can use django.views.static.serve to download static or media
files. You should not use this method in production however as it is
not considered stable. Just place this in your url.py file:
from settings import DEBUG, STATIC_DOC_ROOT, MEDIA_ROOT
if DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^.*/?static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': STATIC_DOC_ROOT}),
(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': MEDIA_ROOT})
)
Then you can access static files from /static/path/to/file and you can
access your uploaded media using /site_media/path/to/file
You can of course use settings variables for the URL's as well as the
roots but that's upto you. Not sure why files aren't being put into
the /user_files/ directory that you have specified, they should be!
