trying to use a variable inside a static content tag

[Lyman Hurd]

Greetings.  I am writing a card game and I can load an image when I give a fixed value such as:

<img src="{% static "app/images/ah.png" alt="ah" style="width:69px;height:106px;">

but I would actually like part o fthis to be determined by a tag (there is a for loop setting values) but when I write:

<img src="{% static "app/images/{{ card }}.png" %}"" alt="{{ card }}" style="width:69px;height:106px;">

however when this is rendered into HTML the tag {{ card }} ha sbeen URL-escaped:

<img src"=/static/%7B%7B%20card%20%7D%7D"" alt="KC.png" style="width:69px;height:106px;">

How can I render a static image based on the contents of a tag?

Cheers,

Lyman Hurd

Hi Lyman,

PFB. 

Configure the following setting in your setting.py

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"static_files")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)

load staticfiles tag to template 
{% load staticfiles %}
and then use in src attribute of img HTML tag as you did.
