I would like more information regarding from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns(”,
(r’^rsrc/(? .*)$’, ‘django.views.static.serve’, {

’document_root’: settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
)

You cannot just append this to the bottom of your file. could someone give the corrected one? It throws more than one error regarding these lines.

I’m getting the same problem as darius.
The correct expression is: resources/(?P.*)$

It looks as though the browser is hiding some of it as it thinks it’s html mark up.

I found the solution here:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/

Note: Excuse the garbled message if that didn’t work but I was trying to put path within triangular brackets.

works great until:

(r'^resources/(? .*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})

...

>>> re.compile('^resources/(?.*)$') error: unexpected end of pattern

i placed the ‘?’ after: as in (.*?)

Hi, could you have a tutorial explaining how to pass a variable from views.py to a html file?

I am trying to make a ads rotation system. I am a php programmer and new to django and kinda new to python.

I would like to learn how I can get the ad graphic url from the database of google apps engine to the html file where the image tag is.

So their graphic ad shows. I am having trouble with this.
