Load a static file with a variable name

[I. Dié]

Hi everybody,

I want to load a image with a variable name   in  detail.html like this:

{% load staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static 'pet/images/{{pet.name}}.png' %}" alt={{ pet.name }} />

the image won't load. But when I try this way, it's work perfectly:

{% load staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static 'pet/images/nova.png' %}" alt={{ pet.name }} />

Here is my question How to load a static file with a variable name? Ps: pet.name value is always the image's name for each pet.

best regards

Try this:

<img src="{% static 'pet/images/' + {{pet.name}} + '.png' %}" alt={{ pet.name }} />

You're embedding {{pet_name}} in a string. If this was a regular Python statement, it would be like writing "Hello, {0}" and not having a format() at the end.

I tried in your way to concatenate, I don't get any exception, but  the image image does'nt want to display. The plage only throw the "alt" value. Even for this line of code it's thing.

The '+' is an error, the line look more like this:

<img src="{% static 'pet/images/' %}{{pet.name}}.png" alt={{ pet.name }} />

Thank you very much monsieur François

You'll want to use

<img src="{% static 'pet/images/'|add:pet.name|add:'.png' %}" alt={{ pet.name }} />

Because François' suggestion will break if you use a static file storage that doesn't
allow missing files reference such as the ManifestStaticFilesStorage.
