title: How to serve a directory of static files at a custom url in django
body: <p>I'm working on a django app that has static files being served from <a href="http://host/static" rel="nofollow">http://host/static</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I have a new folder full of static html/js/css that needs to be accessible at <a href="http://host/staff" rel="nofollow">http://host/staff</a>.</p>
  
  <p>How can I tell django to serve the /staff files from that url?</p>
  
  <p>Using nginx or some other proxy is not an option, and neither is changing the url.</p>
  
  <p>I was able to get it partially working by adding <code>urlpatterns += static('/staff/', document_root='staff')</code>, but that only works while <code>Debug = True</code>.</p>
