Hi Charito,
What tool did you use to insert your python codes into the marked fields
below, i.e., settings.py, my models.py, etc?

Never mind. I figured it out. For some reason, {{ MEDIA_URL }} doesn't work
but {{ media_url }} does. Now all my movies and images are rendered. Cheers. :)

Hi django folks,
I ran into a hiccup when I was rendering media files in templates during
development. I wanted to render the image and the video that was uploaded by
the user BUT instead of the contents of the image and the video being rendered,
the name of the file was rendered instead.
I am using python 2.7.9 and django 1.8.3. Here are my codes relevant to the
question I'm asking:
settings.py
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_PATH = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
'/var/www/static/',)
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
STATIC_PATH,
)
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
my models.py:
class Entry(models.Model):
VIDEO_ENTRY_TYPE = (
('SEMINAR', 'Seminar'),
('LECTURE', 'Lecture'),
('TALK', 'Talk'),
)
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
video = models.FileField(upload_to='video_entries')
entry_type = models.CharField(max_length=100, choices=VIDEO_ENTRY_TYPE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
class EntryForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Entry
fields = ['video', 'entry_type', 'title']
my views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.generic import ListView
from . models import User, Entry, EntryForm
class IndexView(ListView):
template_name = 'pi_app/index.html'
context_object_name = 'latest_seminars'
def get_queryset(self):
return Entry.objects.filter(entry_type='SEMINAR').order_by('-pub_date')
[:10]
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(IndexView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['latest_lectures'] =
Entry.objects.filter(entry_type='LECTURE').order_by('-pub_date') [:10]
context['latest_talks'] =
Entry.objects.filter(entry_type='TALK').order_by('-pub_date') [:10]
my urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'^upload_file/$', views.upload_file, name='upload_file')
]+ static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
my template.py:
{% load staticfiles %}
Homepage
Welcome {{ user }}
{% block seminar %}
Most Recent Seminars
{% if latest_seminars %}
{% for seminar in latest_seminars %}
{{ seminar.title }} by {{ seminar.user }}
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endblock seminar %}
Normally, the video or the image will be rendered. In my case, its not
rendered. What is rendered instead is the name of the movie file
(media/video_entries/name_of _movie_file) or the name of the image file
(media/video_entries/name_of _image_file). All the other variables are rendered
correctly except the media files. What am I missing? Please enligthen me. Your
help is hightly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Hal,

icon which is last icon on the top right of your text box.

Hi Everyone: I want to develop a Django web client and either a Java API (JSON) or Word Press WP Core on the backend server. Is this project feasible, and if so what are this Group’s recommendations?
