16633	Static files in 1.3	from_a_far@…	nobody	"Just noticed the following in 1.3.

(correct me if I'm wrong) But it seems that if you want to use static files in a vanilla install you have to do one of the following: 1. Have a line in urls.py to point to your static files ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4730716/django-static-files-problem link]) 2. Put SATIC_ROOT in STATICFILES_DIRS ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4565935/django-staticfiles-app-help link])

Is there any chance that one of the above can be set as a default or that the docs can reflect this?

BTW just like to commend the document keeps for describing (what could be construed as complex) 'collectstatic' in a succinct way. I was able to follow this change between version without trouble. Thank you."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.3	Normal	invalid	SATIC_ROOT, STATIC_URL, STATICFILES_DIRS		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	1	0
