My page cound not load image, help!

[Dae James]

The returned html code by my app is : <img src="photos/image.jpg" />

The "image.jpg" file is in "project_dir/photos/" directory. PS: project_dir is my django project's root directory.

 

So why the image could not be loaded. Please help~

Thank you~

Because your image is not in the directory that your html file shows.
Go to the django documentation and try to understand static files.

Serve the image as a static file. in your settings.py file set the following:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = ('/path/to/your/image/directory',) # Without a trailing slash

and then load your image as <img src="/static/image.jpg" />

I use ImageField(with upload_to = 'photos') to receive user-uploaded images. And in my template, I want to use <img src="{{ object.image.url }}" />(image is the object of ImageField) to display them. However, images can't be displayed. I think it's not about static files. If it is, what's the use of ImageField's url property.

Moreover, images will relate to the MEDIA_*

Static are really meant to be static, ie they won't change as long as you don't update your project/applications.

Media are where other files should go. Whether they are uploaded user documents or application generated ones, they should go there.

For moreinformation have a look there:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField

And especially the part after: "Using a FileField or an ImageField (see below) in a model takes a few steps:"
