A slightly improved version of snippet #195 which keeps the logic but makes use of the simple_tag
decorator to drastically simplify the code.
For an alternative to this sort of tag, check out the media context processor in my template_utils app.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | from django.conf import settings
from django.template import Library
def media_path(path):
import urlparse
import os.path
if os.path.exists(os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, path)):
return urlparse.urljoin(settings.MEDIA_URL, path)
return ''
register = Library()
register.simple_tag(media_path)

This is now obsolete. You only need to import RequestContext in your views:
from django.templates import RequestContext
And then add a context_instance to your render_to_response, like so:
return render_to_response('main/main.html', {"variable": 0}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
You can now access the media url anywhere with {{ MEDIA_URL }}
