Re: images in a template

Thank You very much, Daniel !
I try to follow every advice of You and Mike.

> So you put the image in the media directory.

In a project directory 'galiontour' I created a subdirectory 'media'
and placed 'galion.gif' into it.
Index.html was placed into application level directory 'galion'.

> Then, you set up (for development only) the static serve view in your urls.py, as you have been shown.

That is what I don't understand yet.
Now I fill project level urls.py with this:

from galiontours.galion import views
from galion.views import index
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^index/', 'galion.views.index'),
url(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_DOC_ROOT}),
)

The latter statement isn't clear for me yet. I omitted here some
statements in this file, serving for admin.

>Then you refer to the file in the template using MEDIA_URL, so your browser knows where to request the image.

In a template index.html I wrote:
#title h1 { background:{{ MEDIA_URL }}galion.gif left top no-
repeat; padding-left:80%; }
In addition, in settings.py I wrote:
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
Now I put
http://localhost:8000/index/
to web browser and don't see an image in a homepage.
