imagefield, admin, wrong link

[Gábor Farkas]

hi,

i have an ImageField in a model.

when i use the admin interface, everything is fine, except one thing:

the ImageField part consists of:

======
Currently: LINK
Change: <textfield> <button>
======

and the LINK is wrong. it's content is ok, but the HREF is empty.
example:

Currently: <a href="" > logos/firstlogo.png </a><br />

so when you click on it, you just get the actual page.

i thought that it should take me to the submitted file...

MEDIA_URL, MEDIA_ROOT are set up correctly.
the file gets uploaded correctly to the designated folder.

any ideas what's wrong?

thanks,
gabor

one more thing. the same thing happens with my FileField field also.

so it really seems to be a config problem.. but which setting?

my settings:
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/gabor/django/simple/static'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://localhost:8000/static/'

thanks,
gabor

Hi Gabor, I am dealing with the same issue here, and I've opened a
ticked for this : http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1315

It seems that on the admin's template ('file.html'), filefields are
susbtituted to "bound_field.original_url" which evaluates to blank....
even if you use the "bound_field.original_value" it's still doens't
work... somehow the admin is appending the url to the model's edit
view...

I am pretty clueless to what can this be...

Hi,

I tracked this down.

You can overwrite the template that is responsible for the file
widget, like this.

1. in your templates directory create widget directory.
2. copy trunk/django/contrib/admin/templates/widget/file.html to the
widget folder you created.
3. edit as needed.
