ZINNIA_MEDIA_URL is not defined or not recognize on django

Question

Hi I've been trying to play around with zinnia, nevertheless the CSS is not well applied because it cannot find (or it's in blank) a setting variable called ZINNIA_MEDIA_URL

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{{ ZINNIA_MEDIA_URL }}img/favicon.ico" />

I tried to setted my self, but without any luck. Has anyone encouter this problem?

Thanks

I took a quick look and I cannot find any reference to ZINNIA_MEDIA_URL in the current version of zinnia.

I did find a note in the readme that zinnia uses Django's 1.3 staticfiles app to handle its css/javascript media now. Look at https://github.com/Fantomas42/django-blog-zinnia/blob/master/zinnia/templates/zinnia/skeleton.html and you'll see "{{ STATIC_URL }}" in there.

So perhaps you took the ZINNIA_MEDIA_URL from an older example or older version of the docs? Or you upgraded to a newer zinnia version?
