#8688 closed (fixed)

Small change on documentation for static media serving

Description

I'd like to suggest a small change to the documentation on ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#limiting-use-to-debug-true which would be adding a variable like settings.MEDIA_DEVELOPMENT_ROOT instead of using an hardcoded path on the urls.py for development purposes. This is a much better way for different developers to work on the same project with only different settings.py files.

Has patch: set

No new setting needed; the above patch makes it so that settings.MEDIA_ROOT is used as the document_root for django.views.static.serve.
