I am currently working my way through a django project and am having trouble working with MEDIA and uploading an graph image.
Inside settings.py, I have added the below code.
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')`
HomePage.html:
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}image.png" alt="Uploaded Image" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;">
HomePage->urls.py
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Relative Path from the html file to the image: media/graph/upload/image.png
I get the error
Not Found: /graph/upload/image.png.
Main Project
--App
----settings.py
--HomePage
----HomePage.html
----urls.py
--media
----graph
------upload
--------image.png
Thank you for all your help! Let me know if you need anymore of the code, I just didn't want to make this super long if this is a simple error.
I've also tried hardcoding the path to the directory and that did not work either so I think I am misunderstanding something with Django.
if you want to use {{ MEDIA_URL }}
in your templates, add django.template.context_processors.media
in the context_processors
option of TEMPLATES
.
TEMPLATES = [
{
"BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
"APP_DIRS": True,
"OPTIONS": {
"context_processors": [
"django.template.context_processors.media"
],
},
},
]
