copied!<p><strong>If you want just a solution - scroll down to the "Solution".</strong></p> <h2>Overview</h2> <p>I was discovering the same problem yesterday. Here is what I found:</p> <p>All you need is appropriate static finder, that will find your STATIC_ROOT and all its contents, but there is no such finder. Here are default finders:</p> <ul> <li><p><em>django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder</em> - search installed django applications dirs for 'static' folder, but most of them use obsolete 'media' folders for now.</p></li> <li><p><em>django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.FileSystemFinder</em> - use all dirs mentioned in the STATICFILES_DIRS, but you can't add STATIC_ROOT into it.</p></li> <li><p><em>django.contrib.staticfiles.finders.DefaultStorageFinder</em> - search static in your DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE which is <em>django.core.files.storage.FileSystemStorage</em> by default and it points to your MEDIA_ROOT</p></li> </ul> <h2>Solution</h2> <p>That's all, no additional choices. There are no choices to use STATIC_ROOT for now (in Django 1.3). <br/> So I've just wrote my own custom finder for these needs:</p> <ul> <li><p>My custom static finder file: <strong>finders.py</strong>:</p> <pre><code>from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage from django.contrib.staticfiles.finders import BaseStorageFinder from django.conf import settings class StaticFinder(BaseStorageFinder): storage = FileSystemStorage(settings.STATIC_ROOT, settings.STATIC_URL) </code></pre></li> <li><p><strong>settings.py</strong>:</p> <pre><code>STATICFILES_FINDERS = ( 'finders.StaticFinder', ) </code></pre></li> <li>If you want to use it with another finders - I suggest to put them after it inside STATICFILES_FINDERS</li> </ul> <p><strong>And remember</strong>: this solution should be used only in development needs and never on production!</p>
