#13151: If ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is not assigned, things don't work...documentation should be updated --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: nobody Status: new | Milestone: Component: Documentation | Version: 1.1 Keywords: | Stage: Unreviewed Has_patch: 0 | --------------------------------------------+------------------------------- I just spent about 45 minutes trying to get the instructions here to work: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/
Turns out, the only reason they didn't work was because I didn't have anything set for ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX. I don't think I ever deleted this from my settings file...I might have, I don't know, but by adding: ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = "/path/to/wherever/that/does/not/even/exist/" I was able to get everything to work. Just by putting a value in there. I am new to django, but if the documentation said this, it would make life much easier. It does warn about having ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX be the same as another value, so adding this kind of warning makes sense to me, at least in theory. -- Ticket URL: <http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/13151> Django <http://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
