Thank for your quick response Daniel.
I'm just confused about using media_url with generic views, I have
done it previously with:
from django.conf import settings # for media_url
media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL
def dblist(request):
obj_list_menu = dbModel1.objects.all()
return render_to_response('products/dblist.html', {'make_list':
obj_list_menu, 'media_url': media_url })
but with generic views, have no views.py obviously, so I put it in
settings.py:
from django.conf import settings # for media_url
media_url = settings.MEDIA_URL
and in my base.html template:
{{ media_url }}css/base.css
but it's not picking it up? do i need to pass it with generic views?
