#django-storages

Hi richleland

heya

did my reply make sense?

Yes, it does make sense. The problem is that Heroku's buildpack only runs collectstatic; afaik there's no easy way to change that command

Hence I suggest to call the command the same, but introduce a setting (which defaults to False) to enable the modified behaviour

I would add documentation for that in my pull requests

oh you can disable collectstatic w/heroku and call another command I believe

one sec...

and then you could run a command manually

heorku run "command"

not sure if you can automate that "command"... hmm

I don't think you can, without using a custom buildpack

If I'd introduce a setting and have it default to False, people can't really confuse it. I think it's fair enough for django-storages to override the collectstatic command. South does the same with e.g. syncdb

Or django-nose with the test command.

that's true

good call - so basically like COLLECTSTATIC_HASH = True or somehting along those lines

Exactly.

and if not hash, just use vanilla collectstatic

ok cool - sounds sane

Cool. I'll prep a pull request today or sometime next week then for you to have a look

Will run it by my boss to see if I can do it on company time ;)

thanks a ton

I'm sure lots of folks will find this helpful

No worries, thanks for a great project. I ran into this myself, and at work

Cheers. You'll hear from me

I just wrote to Olof, the author of fasts3collectstatic. I'll leave him time to reply and will prep the PR next week
