I hope you can help me withmy Django project. I am able to upload an images under a media_cdn folder, inside a folder based on the name of the slug. The problem occurs when I try to display the image inside my post list and post.
Can you please have a look at my code and offer a solution. I spent hours trying to get it to work. Please help.
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/')
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media_cdn/')
models.py
def upload_location(instance, filename):
return "%s/%s" %(instance.slug, filename)
class Post(models.Model):
category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=250, unique=True)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=upload_location,
null=True,
blank=True,
width_field="width_field",
height_field="height_field")
height_field = models.IntegerField(default=0)
width_field = models.IntegerField(default=0)
body = models.TextField()
date = models.DateTimeField()
updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
postlist.html
{% block content %}
{% for post in posts %}
<div class="container w3-card-4">
{% if post.image %}
<img src="{{ post.instance.image.url }}">
{% endif %}
...
post.html
{% block content %}
<div class="row">
<div class="container w3-card-4">
{% if instance.image %}
<img src= "{{ instance.image.url }}" class="img-responsive">
{% endif %}
...
url.py
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^', include('personal.urls')),
url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls', namespace='blog', app_name='blog')),
]
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
I don't know what else to try to call that image from the folder. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Use post.image.url instead of post.instance.image.url. Check the documentation.
ImageField inherits all the attributes of the FileField which includes url.
