I am working on a site in dev that contains a media folder. When I do a fresh setup of the site (empty db) and do all the migrations and steps to get the site up and running I noticed in the admin portal none of the images and assets in the media folder dont show up even though they exist. I have to re-import an image and then it shows up in the admin portal as expected. I have looked all over and cannot find an answer. To put it simply why isnt the admin portal importing existing files in the media folder on a fresh setup?
django==3.2
wagtail==3.0
base.py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from wagtail.admin import urls as wagtailadmin_urls
from wagtail.core import urls as wagtail_urls
from wagtail.documents import urls as wagtaildocs_urls
from wagtail.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap
from search import views as search_views
urlpatterns = [
...
]
if settings.DEBUG:
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
# Serve static and media files from development server
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
If anyone has any idea?
That is totally normal. Just as you need to import your page data into the database, you also need to import the information about your documents into the database (in addition to having the files). You can write a script to help with these imports. I don't have one for images but here is one I wrote for importing documents from a nested directory in the file system into a nested set of collections: https://gist.github.com/cnk/54031ca6775fa0d29997449a1e2010ec

I am trying to host a Django web application on Cpanel.
However, my hosting service is having a main folder which is called public_html. In this folder, there is the index page. My project folder named myapp is out of the public_html folder. Whenever I run the application, it is showing the content of the index.html which is in the public_html folder instead of running the home page of my application that should be executed from this main urls.py file.
Bellow is the main urls.py content.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path,include
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('depenses/', include('depenses.urls', namespace='depenses')),
path('cart/', include('cart.urls', namespace='cart')),
path('orders/', include('orders.urls', namespace='orders')),
path('coupons/', include('coupons.urls', namespace='coupons')),
path('', include('shop.urls', namespace='shop')),
# path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='templates/index.html'), name='home'),
]
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Again my project is out of the public_html folder.
Please assist me to host my application.
This is normal behavior considering the fact that the web service will attempt to serve HTML/PHP files only.
You will need to deploy your Django app through a python interpreter like Apache Passenger or something similar that would handle and serve it.
This can be easily achieved without many configurations and hassles with the Python App feature of CloudLinux.
Therefore, I would suggest you simply find a hosting provider that provides CloudLinux's Python App feature. The deployment process via that feature is with just a few simple clicks.
This is my first time deploying Django. My app runs fine locally, but when I deploy, I get this error:
ImproperlyConfigured at /admin/
The included URLconf module 'search.urls' from '/home/imeaytbc/myproject/search/urls.py' does not
appear to have any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the
file then the issue is probably caused by a circular import.
My urls.py file is exactly the same as the one run on my computer:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
app_name = 'search'
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.query_search, name='query_search'),
path('article/<int:ArticleID>/', views.article_detail, name='article_detail')
]
Is there anything I need to change in regards to deployment? All the changes I made to my files regarding deployment are about static and media file directories. What else do I need to change for deployment? As far as I am aware, I have uploaded all files to the hosting server and the app shouldn't be missing any file.
EDIT: added main urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.views.generic import RedirectView
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('search/', include('search.urls')),]
I have django 1.10.7, python2.7, installed django-hosts, pybbm app.
Pybbm forum on subdomain forum.example.com.
When i'l trying open topic on url forum.example.com/topic/1/, that already have created, i get error.
NoReverseMatch at /topic/1/
u'admin' is not a registered namespace
my hosts.py
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from django_hosts import patterns, host
from django.conf import settings
host_patterns = patterns('',
host(r'example.com', settings.ROOT_URLCONF, name='www'),
host(r'forum', 'forums.urls', name='forum'),
)
my forums/urls.py, where i included pybb urls
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^', include('pybb.urls', namespace='pybb')),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Can you help how to better configure pybbm forum app with my django project on subdomain?
Looks like you have no admin url in your 'forums/urls.py' and the template that renders '/topic/1/' has some django url link pointing to admin routes (e.g. Foo) that doesn't even exist. Can you show the template code?
I wish to access the file i upload using models.FileField(), but its shows different path when i click on the link provided in the admin page. May i know what's the problem here?
Updated my code, but the url dosent seem corret. getting a 404 code error.
you need to declare MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media')
and add them to the urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
So I have completed the Django tutorial, play around with it some, and feel that I have a good understanding of Django. The only problem I am facing is that when I try to display a static page for a landing page, I cannot seem to get any images to load.
First off I have tried two different methods of displaying a static landing page.
First:
# main app urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="landing/index.html")),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls', namespace="polls")),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
This is the main app's urls.py and I use the TemplateView to display the static index.html which is located at 'my_app/templates/landing/index.html'.
This is all and well until I try to add a static image into the index.html file. No matter where I put the image file I cannot seem to get it to display. In the index.html template I have tried different methods of using static as well as trying different direct paths without the need for the embedded python code. How am I supposed to display images and where should they be located?
The second method I found that worked for just displaying the static page (not the image) was to create a new app called landing and have that simply display a static page from the urls.py in the same manner(using TemplateView). Is this method better? I still had the same problems in displaying an image within the static page as the first method, which makes me think it has something to do with the TemplateView.
Am I doing this completely wrong? What are my options? I am using Django 1.5.1.
Thanks in advance!
It is a bit awkward to serve statics files with Django. This is because they have the conception that static files such as images must be in another domain or server for performance/security reasons.
To serve static content with django do this:
# urls.py
# add this lines at the end
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
Then in settings.py define the directory where the images/css/js and similar static contents are:
# settings.py
import os
settings_dir = os.path.dirname(__file__)
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(settings_dir))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
# this assumes your static contents is in <your_project>/static/
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/'),
)
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'media/')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
Note: You may also consider images as media and place them in your media/ folder.
That should get static files served with your app. Just reference them like this href="/static/xxxx.jpg" or href="/media/xxxx.jpg".
Hope it helps!
