#14600 closed (fixed)

No mentioning of addition of staticfiles to TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS after 1.2 in settings documentation

Description

In the devs docs, the list of TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS is:

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

In the 1.2 docs, it reads:

("django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth",
"django.core.context_processors.debug",
"django.core.context_processors.i18n",
"django.core.context_processors.media",
"django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages")

Since "django.core.context_processors.media" changed for "django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles" it should mention something about this in the docs. This way it's confusing for innocent users like myself.

A suggested change would be:

Changed in Django 1.3: "django.core.context_processors.media" was replaced by ""django.contrib.staticfiles.context_processors.staticfiles" in the default. For more information, see the staticfiles documentation.

There is also no mention that the new staticfiles context processor also puts MEDIA_URL in the context here. It is mentioned here, however there is a typo "This context processor has been moved to the new The staticfiles app app".

There is a typo here: "see the statcfiles reference."

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [14479]) Fixed #14600 -- Added a versionchanged directive to the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting reference, and added a currentmodule directive to the staticfiles docs so that the crossref targets would point to the right place even with full paths in the staticfiles docs. Thanks to mathijs for the report and suggested text.
