Nope, that's not the problem. I had read that page, and another that
suggested a slightly different syntax for the urlpatterns (from
http://rob.cogit8.org/blog). Sorry that I forgot to mention that I
had already put Rob's version in my code -- I wasn't sure if it was
necessary simply to show any images anywhere on your site (the example
is of a set of images with a directory and links to each image).
This is what is currently in my urls.py file, after my other
urlpatterns (and yes, DEBUG is set to True):
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, '..',
'media')}),
)
That page in the docs doesn't say anything about how to call this from
the view. Are these files automatically accessed by an <img> tag? I
didn't see any special image tag (like the image_tag in rails) in the
template tags or in my search of the docs.
Thanks
