Django 1.4 deprecates ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX but my project was started using Django 1.3 so having issue while using in Django 1.4

Question

I started a project in Django 1.3 and have recently installed Django 1.4 on another machine and continued my project on Django 1.4.

Django 1.4 deprecated the ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX setting so I removed it, but now there is some other error that settings.ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX is not found. So what I can do to make my project work fine with Django 1.4?

Thanks in advance guys.

Answer 1

If you don't use this setting anywhere in your code or template it can only be raised by a reusable app.

As you mentioned the smart_select app, you might want to have a look at this changeset.

Answer 2

You could try using the builtin staticfiles app. I fixed the same error by replacing:

{% admin_media_prefix %}

with:

{% static 'admin' %}

And you'll need to place {% load staticfiles %} at the top of the template.
