Question

When I go to main site page, requests for tinymce are:

"GET /media/js/tiny_mce/textareas.js HTTP/1.1" 200 2007
"GET /media/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js HTTP/1.1" 200 207773

because I use MEDIA_URL for tinymce stuff. But when I go to /admin pages requests are:

"GET /static/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js HTTP/1.1" 304 0
"GET /static/js/tiny_mce/textareas.js HTTP/1.1" 200 2007

Why? And where to correct this?

Answer 1

Fragment of \venv\Lib\site-packages\tinymce\settings.py:

if 'staticfiles' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS or 'django.contrib.staticfiles' in settings.INSTALLED_APPS:
    JS_URL = getattr(settings, 'TINYMCE_JS_URL',os.path.join(settings.STATIC_URL, 'tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js'))
    JS_ROOT = getattr(settings, 'TINYMCE_JS_ROOT',os.path.join(settings.STATIC_ROOT, 'tiny_mce'))
else:
    JS_URL = getattr(settings, 'TINYMCE_JS_URL','%sjs/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js' % settings.MEDIA_URL)
    JS_ROOT = getattr(settings, 'TINYMCE_JS_ROOT', os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'js/tiny_mce'))

AFAIR ‘django.contrib.staticfiles’ is included in INSTALLED_APPS by default. Therefore tinymce should be located in static dir. Instructions about putting tinymce in media directory misled me.
