Description

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/ mentions a method for defining a media dir in settings.py and urls.py that will work with both runserver and a production server, but leaves out a critical line for those not familiar with how to access objects from settings. This minor doc patch corrects that.

That's not the correct way to import settings, you should be doing from django.conf import settings

static3.diff corrects this problem. Thanks for clarifying.

Not sure how I missed it earlier, but the import is already in the codeblock. I'm therefore marking this invalid.

The import is in the codeblock for the section "Limiting use to DEBUG=True" at the bottom of the page, but not in the section "How to do it" at mid-page - that's what this patch is for.
