I've installed django-photologue and added a handful of photos to the database. The basic site mechanics seem to be working fine, except no photos or thumbnails are displayed. The images and thumbnails are in ..\django\media\photologue\photos.
For a photo_detail page, the resulting HTML source looks like this:
<title>Greece 3</title>
<h1>Greece 3</h1>
<div class="gallery-photo">
<img src="photologue/photos/cache/greece003_display.jpg" alt="Greece 3"/>
<p>no caption yet</p>
</div>
<h2>This photo is found in the following galleries:</h2>
<ol>
<li>
<a title="Greece 2" href="/photologue/photo/greece-2/"><img src="photologue/photos/cache/greece002_thumbnail.jpg"/></a>
LSB Photos - Greece
<a title="Greece 4" href="/photologue/photo/greece-4/"><img src="photologue/photos/cache/greece004_thumbnail.jpg"/></a>
</li>
</ol>
Looks to me like the img src files don't resolve to the right location and therefore don't display. I think MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_SITE are correct, and media for other apps work like i expect.
>>> import settings
>>> settings.MEDIA_ROOT
'c:/design.ed/django/media/'
>>> settings.MEDIA_URL
''
And here's what the photologue module itself gives me.
>>> from photologue import models as phl
>>> phl.PHOTOLOGUE_DIR
'photologue'
>>> phl.PHOTOLOGUE_PATH
>>> phl.get_storage_path(None, 'foo.jpg')
'photologue\\photos\\foo.jpg'
What am i missing here?
I think i've answered my own question. The problem had nothing whatsoever to do with photologue: rather, settings.MEDIA_URL wasn't set correctly (because i'd never actually served any media through Django before).
In my case, i was running locally using the default Django server (which i know you're not supposed to do for production). So i had this in my urls.py:
(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': MEDIA_ROOT, 'show_indexes': True}),
but MEDIA_URL was the default empty string. Instead i changed it to
MEDIA_URL = '/site_media/'
which is where it's supposed to be (both the leading and trailing slashes are required in this case), and all the magic worked. Apologies for clouding the issue with photologue details.

When I travel directly to the admin page of my django website by entering http://localhost:8000/admin/ in my address bar, the admin page is styled as it should be.
However, I need to create a link in my navigation bar that takes the user to the admin page but when the admin page is accessed from this nav link the normal admin styling disappears even though it appears to take me to the exact same web address.
[1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/MrdOF.png
When I inspect the site it instead seems to be recieving styling from my jquery mobile stylesheet instead.
Any idea why this may be the case only when travelling to the admin address from the link?
EDIT:
Here is the html code for the nav. The result is the same regardless of using href='/admin/' or href="{% url 'admin:index' %}"
<ul class="navbar-nav">
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">{% trans 'Staff Login' %}</a>
</li>
</ul>
Here are my urls.py files for each of my apps:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='form_page'),
path('search/', views.search_page, name='search_page'),
path('list/', views.list_skills, name='list_skills_page'),
path('skill/<slug:code>/', views.show_skill, name='show_skill_page'),
path('select/<slug:code_1>/', views.select_second, name='select_second'),
path('select/<slug:code_1>/<slug:code_2>/', views.view_second, name='view_second'),
path('language_preferences/', views.language_preferences_page, name='language_preferences_page')
]
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('', include('Generator.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('i18n/', include('django.conf.urls.i18n')),
]
Also, I have noticed that when inspecting the source in my browser the admin static files do not appear in the page sources when viewing the admin site after clicking the anchor link (left) but are present if I directly enter the admin address in my search bar (right).
see here
SOLVED:
I found that some jquery js found in my base html template seemed to be interfering with the admin static files and stopping them from being served when I navigated to the admin site from the link in the navigation bar (no idea why!)
removing the following line fixed the admin style issue when navigating from the link:
<script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
so I simply wrote a javascript script to remove this jquery resource from the DOM when the link is clicked and the issue was resolved.
I have some problems in django,
I can load images in my index.html, but not in other templates,
why is this happening?
Tried many methods and viewed many other post but non work for me.
This is my urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
url(r'^$', 'userboard.views.home', name='home'),
url(r'^items/(?P<UserBoard_id>\d+)/$','userboard.views.details',name='details'),
url(r'^upload.html$', 'userboard.views.upload', name='upload'),
url(r'^items/(?P<UserBoard_id>\d+)/delete.html$','userboard.views.delete',name='delete'),
url(r'^items/(?P<UserBoard_id>\d+)/edit.html$','userboard.views.edit',name='edit'),
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
This is my index.html, it works fine
<h1> Your Items: </h1>
<ul>
{% for items in ItemList %}
<li><a href="/items/{{items.id}}/">
<img src="{{items.itemImage}}"></a>
</li>
<hr />
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Add a new item
but this wont load my pictures
<img src="{{item.itemImage}}">
<h1>{{item.itemName}}<h1>
<h2>{{item.itemDesc}}</h2>
<br /><br/><br/>
Delete this item
<br />
Edit this item
i am not sure if you need my views, here they are
def home ( request) :
ItemList= models.UserBoard.objects.all()
return render_to_response('index.html',{'ItemList':ItemList})
def details(request,UserBoard_id):
try:
item=models.UserBoard.objects.get(pk=UserBoard_id)
except models.UserBoard.DoesNotExist:
raise Http404
return render_to_response('details.html' ,{'item':item})
Please let me know where I went wrong or at least give me a hint where I could start searching on.
EDIT:
here are my models
from django.db import models
class UserBoard(models.Model):
itemName=models.CharField(max_length=100)
itemDesc=models.CharField(max_length=400)
itemImage=models.ImageField(upload_to='../media/pictures')
if i print out the value of items.itemImage, it will show this ../media/pictures/d.jpg
Same value in both pages, but image will only show on 1. Templates for both pages are at the same folder.
And here is my settings.py media root
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/rox/Documents/IP/userboard/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
PROBLEM SOLVED
THANKS A LOT to little_birdie and the others out there who helped.
The problem was this . I didn't put the '/' infront of item.itemImage previously.
However, why is it that without the / it works in the index.html but not the others?
Not quite enough information but I think I know what's going on here.
You are getting a relative path from item.itemImage, that is.. it does not start with a slash, so the browser will load it relative to the url of the page the image is on.
Apparently you stored the full url path to your image in your image field, eg:
media/foo/myphoto.jpg
When loaded from / (home page) becomes '/media/foo/myphoto.jpg'.. which works.
The bottom line is, do this:
<img src="/{{item.itemImage}}">
When I try text editing and other text related stuffs and save it, the editor does its job nicely. But when I try to upload an image it just take a different url. I am on windows. Is it because of this, cause I saw a post on this post, but it didn't helped me either. It does get saved and they each have their own thumbnails too. But its just that the wrong urls.
I checked the src of the image, and it was like this,
<img alt="" src="/media/3/10/17Hydrangeas.jpg" />
But it should have been like this,
<img alt="" src="/media/2013/10/17/Hydrangeas.jpg" />
And sometimes the src of the image is just like this,
<img alt="" src="/media/3/10/17" />
This is the snippet of my settings.py:
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'C:/Users/Nanyoo/web/demo/media'
MEDIA_ROOT = 'C:/Users/Nanyoo/web/demo/media'
I've included its url in my urls.py:
(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor.urls')),
models.py:
from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from time import time
def get_upload_file_name(instance, filename):
return "uploaded_files/%s_%s" %(str(time()).replace('.','_'), filename)
class Blog(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_upload_file_name, blank=True)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)
creator = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name="creator_set")
body = models.TextField()
In the forms.py:
from django import forms
from django_summernote.widgets import SummernoteWidget
from ckeditor.widgets import CKEditorWidget
class BlogForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField(max_length=200,widget=SummernoteWidget())
body = forms.CharField(widget=CKEditorWidget())
In the index.html:
{% for blog in blogs %}
<div id="page">
<h1>{{ blog.title | safe}}</h1>
<p>{{ blog.body | safe}}</p>
</div>
{% endfor %}
my form in the html:
{% block content %}
<form method="post" action=".">
{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset id="create_blog">
{{form.media}}
{{ form.as_p}}
<input type="submit" value="Post Blog" />
</fieldset>
</form>
{% endblock %}
I had a bit of a time getting django-ckeditor up and running with my Django app, but eventually hacked my way through to being able to serve uploaded files on the local machine (during development/testing).
First thing I suggest doing - if you haven't done so already - is read Django's documentation regarding static files. It may help in getting a better idea as to how things are configured and why.
From the django-ckeditor installation documentation, step 4 outlines the purpose of CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH This works similarly to Django's built-in MEDIA_ROOT and STATIC_ROOT, where the path provided isn't necessarily the path in which the file is stored. You must specify a path to store the file upon upload. This may be done by making sure you have a MEDIA_URL global variable declared within your projects settings file.
Once you have the initial setup complete, the final step is to enable Django to serve the files you're working with locally. Please note: This method is to be used for development and debugging purposes only. Do not deploy your code with the following snippet included.
You may read more on this method via Django's static file how-to, within the "Serving static files during development" section.
In your project's urls.py file, add the following bit of code, enabling Django to serve your local data.
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
# existing url patterns,
# ...,
) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
From there, you should be all set.
Just as a quick disclaimer: I am by far a seasoned professional. This method is what has worked for me, given my specific setup and environment. Results may vary.
Hope this helps to get you headed in the right direction. Best of luck!
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH is relative to MEDIA_ROOT.
https://github.com/django-ckeditor/django-ckeditor#id2
In your case it should be
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = ''
This worked for me. To be honest, all these *_PATH issues were probably the hardest parts of Django for me.
UPD: I see that probably your issue was of some other sort. However I noticed the error in your configuration, that's why I wanted to fix that, since I had troubles with that and other people may find this issue and my answer too. Maybe your configuration was even right, if they've changed the defaults since the time of your post.
I made it !!!
Problem solved !!!!!!
I have the same problem just as you.
Did you solve that?
Did you change
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'
to something else?? Don't change if wrong.
Every time after I successfully upload the picture to the server using django-ckeditor, the django-ckeditor would request a URL which looks like this
uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg
And that indicates the browser is requesting to
localhost:8000/somewhere/someplace/uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg
but not localhost:8000/media/uploads/2015/06/11/app_software_360.jpg This is the actually right URL location, but django-ckeditor just can not find it out. I guess this has something to do with the settings.py
You can check out this page github issue
By adding these to settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "media")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
It works!
Thumb up if you think this is helpful. :)
I am trying to get django to show pictures. Ive installed PIL and it seams to work.
i am running py 2.7, win 7, the developement server and sqlite3
my static root:
STATIC_ROOT = r'H:/netz2/skateproject/static/'
ive got a background picture in this folder and can acces it via
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/images/lomax.jpg
now im trying to upload a pic via an image field & the admin. it works fine, the picture lands in the right folder (ive changed the folders a million times by now to see if that could be the problem) but the picture can not be displayed.
part of my model:
class Sk8(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50, default='name of the model')
bild1 = models.ImageField(upload_to="uploads/")
my media root:
MEDIA_ROOT = r'H:/netz2/skateproject/media/'
the picture lands in the right folder. netz/skateproject/media/pic.jpg
but it seams like localhost can not acces this folder. when i try - i get an 404 and django tells me that the url does not match anything i defined in my urls.
which is true - but neither did I define a url for the background image in the static folder - and i can access this one just fine.
ive also tried to acces the file from my html template, like this:
{% extends "grundgerüst.html" %}
{% block inhalt %}
<div id='skatelist'>
{% for sk8 in skates %}
<p>{{sk8}}</p>
<p><img src="{{sk8.bild.url}}"/></p>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
obviously the picture does not show up.
I dont know what is wrong here. i guess i shoudl be able to see the pic on localhost?
heres a pic of the error chrome gives me
if i.e. in the picture the folders are different than the ones in the code example its because i changed them testing different settings.
I really hope somebody can help me to figure out image_field, cause uploading pictures if i cant display them does not make much sense :)
thanks in advance!!!

ouh and - i already tried google and django reference etc. i honestly could not figure it out that way. every help appreciated!
Django's contrib.staticfiles app will monkeypatch your urls to serve static files when in DEBUG mode [ref]. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of media files.
Add the following snippet to your project urls.py to display media
django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
}),
)
Docs reference
I stumbled on a silly situation with Django's RequestContext thing. Here is my question:
I stored all my images in my media/uploads file. In my template I'm simply using :
{% for photo in photos %}
<img src="{{gallery_root}}/{{photo.get_name}}" />
{% endfor %}
My view is :
def gallery_view(request):
photos = Photo.objects.all()
return render_to_response('gallery/sampleGallery.html',{'photos':photos},context_instance=RequestContext(request))
In my settings file :
GALLERY_ROOT = os.path.join(MEDIA_ROOT, "media/uploads")
And i have a contextprocessor file which contains:
from django.conf import settings
def gallery_root(request):
return {'gallery_root':settings.GALLERY_ROOT}
When I open my template, the image's path appears however the server gives 404, the path seems correct but django can not serves them.. So what's the reason that I can not see images on my template ?
The image source appears like this :
<img src="/Users/imperium/Desktop/sample/media/uploads/popo.jpg" />
Hey there, it's probably that your media isn't being served propery.
Try something like this in your urls.py file.
# if we're in DEBUG mode, allow django to serve media
# This is considered inefficient and isn't secure.
from django.conf import settings
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.GALLERY_ROOT}),
)
MEDIA_ROOT is the filesystem path to your media, not the URL path. Building on the suggestion from mongoose_za, your template should look like:
{% for photo in photos %}
<img src="/media/{{photo.get_name}}" />
{% endfor %}
Of course, you can define a new constant in settings.py which corresponds to the URL root you've chosen, and use this both in urls.py as well as in your templates.
