how to show file in a template - django - django

Question

I want to show an uploaded file :
{% for post in posts %}
<img src="{{post.image.url}}">
<h3>{{post.title}}</h3>
<button type="button" class="btn view-project-btn">view more</button>
<div class="item-details">
<div class="description">
<p>{{post.description}}</p>
</div>
<div class="info">
<ul>
<li>created - <span>{{post.date_creation}}</span></li>
<li>le theme de recherche -<span>{{post.sous_titre}}</span></li>
{{post.body|safe}}
<iframe src="{{post.file.url}}" width="100%" height="500px"></iframe>
</ul>
....
{% endfor %}
this is my views
def home(request):
posts = Post.objects.filter(active=True)
context = {'posts':posts}
return render(request,'base/index.html',context)
but it doesn't work it works for imagefield {{example.image.url}}, this is the attribute in my model file = models.FileField(null=True, blank=True,upload_to="sources")
thanks for your help and suggestions
the error :

urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('',include('post.urls')),
path('ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),
]
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root= settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root= settings.STATIC_ROOT)
in my settings
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')
]
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static/media')
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

Answer 1

here is the issue in your views your are posts in for calling the file but u are using post instead of posts
def home(request):
post = Post.objects.filter(active=True)
context = {'posts':post}
return render(request,'base/index.html',context)
change your view and you are good to go
or change your html code it's totaly upto you
add this in your mainprojects urls.py
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root = settings.STATICFILES_DIRS)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
try this
<embed
src="{{post.file.url}}"
type="application/pdf"
frameBorder="0"
scrolling="auto"
height="500px"
width="100%"
></embed>

Answer 2

edit media root
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static/images')
this is wrong, you can't have media root in static root
remove static/ and try it again
