Extended static files handling
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django 1.3 ships with a new contrib app ``'django.contrib.staticfiles'``
to help developers handle the static media files (images, CSS, Javascript,
etc.) that are needed to render a complete web page.
In previous versions of Django, it was common to place static assets in
:setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` along with user-uploaded files, and serve them both at
:setting:`MEDIA_URL`. Part of the purpose of introducing the ``staticfiles``
app is to make it easier to keep static files separate from user-uploaded
files. For this reason, you will probably want to make your
:setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` and :setting:`MEDIA_URL` different from your
:setting:`STATICFILES_ROOT` and :setting:`STATICFILES_URL`. You will need to
arrange for serving of files in :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` yourself;
``staticfiles`` does not deal with user-uploaded media at all.
See the :doc:`reference documentation of the app </ref/contrib/staticfiles>`
for more details or learn how to :doc:`manage static files
</howto/static-files>`.
