Hi group,
I'm just getting started with Django and I've run into a snag with
images: I've set up the image portion of my site following these
directions from the Django FAQ:
1) "In your settings file, define MEDIA_ROOT as the full path to a
directory where you'd like Django to store uploaded files."
** mine is set as the absolute path on my machine
2) "Define MEDIA_URL as the base public URL of that directory. Make
sure that this directory is writable by the Web server's user account.
"
** have tried this as both the absolute path and the http path, neither
works
3) "Add the FileField or ImageField to your model, making sure to
define the upload_to option to tell Django to which subdirectory of
MEDIA_ROOT it should upload files."
** used "specimen_image=models.ImageField(upload_to='public/')" in
models.py
4) "you can get the absolute URL to your image in a template with {{
object.get_mug_shot_url }}."
** in my template, I refer to <img
src="{{specimen.get_specimen_image_url}}>
When I access the template's associated script through a browser, only
the alt text is displayed (no image). I can access the image directly
by entering the absolute path into my browser, but must be missing
something somewhere along the way in Django. Any ideas?
Thanks! Go Django!
Heather Y.
