Django not recognizing the MEDIA_URL path?

Question

So I\'m trying to get TinyMCE up and running on a simple view function, but the path to the tiny_mce.js file gets screwed up. The file is located at /Users/home/Django/tinyMCE/m

Answer 1

Please read the official Django DOC carefully and you will find the most fit answer.

The best and easist way to solve this is like below.

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
