View pictures from the template via models.FilePathField

[Federico Erbea]

I'm not sure this is the correct method to use, so I'm open to suggestions.

Practically I want to display the image retrieving the path where they are saved from the database.

In a class in models.py I have inserted:

locandina = models.FilePathField( path = "C:/Users/Federico.Erbea/Google Drive/Umore/apps/Database/static/Film/Locandina/", recursive=True)

In the Admin the pull-down menu perfectly recovers the files I'm interested in, allowing me to select the appropriate one

I didn't understand very well how works FilePathField, so I don't know how to pass the information to the template ... I need help, thanks

Hi Federico,

Maby is better idea you use the models.ImageField(upload_to= path)

ie:

locandina = models.ImageField(upload_to= path)

then in the template you can get the path:

{{ object.locandina.url }}

 

Also, you need to read some about configuration on settings.MEDIA_ROOT and settings.MEDIA_URL, for use the imageField.

Regards,

Ronny

but ImageField, you should not use to save the imported files by users?
