15252	get_static_url in static templatetags	ohardy	nobody	"Hello,

When using the settings STATICFILES_STORAGE, it's the storage that should return the url.

For example, a tag of this type works very well:
{{{#!python
@register.simple_tag()
def get_static_url(filepath):
    if storage.exists(filepath):
        return storage.url(filepath)
    return None
}}}

and so STATIC_URL is not required anymore"	New feature	closed	contrib.staticfiles	dev	Normal	fixed		Chris Streeter	Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
