MEDIA_URL path doesn't show up - django

Question

I have a problem with my static and media settings, so my uploaded images doesn't show up on my site page.
In my "settings.py" I have:
MEDIA_ROOT = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '..', 'static', 'media')
)
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
STATIC_ROOT = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '..', 'static'),
)
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '..', 'static'),
)
In my "models.py" I have:
expert_photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='profiles')
Some "urls.py":
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
(r'^tinymce/', include('tinymce.urls')),
url(r'^experts/all/$', 'expert.views.experts', name='experts'),
url(r'^experts/get/(?P<expert_id>\d+)/$', 'expert.views.expert', name='expert'),
)
And after all of that, when I go to my page, I see, that the picture have link, like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/profiles/i_vagin.jpg
But it must be:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/media/profiles/i_vagin.jpg
So how can I fix that?

Answer 1

Media files are not, by default, served during development. To enable media file serving, you need to add the following code in your urls.py file:
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Update
You'll also need to access images in your templates like this: {{ expert_photo.url }}
