Django {{ MEDIA_URL }} blank @DEPRECATED

Question

I have banged my head over this for the last few hours. I can not get {{ MEDIA_URL }} to show up

in settings.py

..
MEDIA_URL = \'http://10.10.0.106/a

You need to add the RequestContext in your render_to_response for the context processors to be processed.

In your case:

from django.template.context import RequestContext

context = {'latest': p}
render_to_response('Question/latest.html',
                   context_instance=RequestContext(request, context))

From the docs:

context_instance

The context instance to render the template with. By default, the template will be rendered with a Context instance (filled with values from dictionary). If you need to use context processors, render the template with a RequestContext instance instead.
