MEDIA_URL is a prefix that you will put in front of the URL media files. E.g. you set your webserver to load such files under the /media/ URL, like www.example.com/media/my-video.webm. Using different storage backends, like an Amazon S3 bucket, you may want to set this to the bucket's URL.
However, you can even outsource avatar handling to some provider, like Gravatar (which is a totally different topic, though). I'm doing a little app that consists of a web page were users submits their jokes (https://github.com/RompePC/django-muro_humoristas/tree/feature). I had finished the models (a little overview would help), but I have one question. I want to use an avatar field for the users: however, I don't understand well for what is *MEDIA_URL* (also, I would want to know where you would put your *MEDIA_ROOT*, in a folder of the app, or in a directory as one that gives the example https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/#std:setting-MEDIA_ROOT). Thanks (and sorry if anyone doesn't understand spanish hehe). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
