Re: Static/media url in template

Yes it already exists {{MEDIA_URL}}

Thats what the settings.py file does...

There is a bunch of stuff you can read about in the docs:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/howto/static-files/

Also for some of my own deployments there are a bunch of static file
servers so i just put these into settings:
{{MEDIA_URL_VIDEO}}
{{MEDIA_URL_IMAGES}}
etc...

Basically its as extensible as you want to make it.

cheers
