Django 1.4 release notes state:
If you’re implicitly relying on the path of the admin static files
within Django’s source code, you’ll need to update that path. The
files were moved from django/contrib/admin/media/ to
django/contrib/admin/static/admin/.
Could somebody explain how this is done exactly? Up to Django 1.3 we used ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX in settings.py, which is now deprecated. However, since we are developing all the time on our static files (js, css, …), the staticfiles app is a rather annoying nogo for us. Calling collectstatic after each modification is a nightmare 😛
A pure Python/Django solution would be great. If that’s impossible, we are using LighTPD as server and not Apache.
Oops, I just found the solution in Django’s new documentation:
