I am developing a car rental app. I have esigned it such a way that the car and driver images will be uploaded from admin page during runtime from media folder. The models.py working fine. Images can be uploaded to the media folder. But the images are not getting diplayed on the car page. Should the img source in car template be changed to the path of the media folder?

Please advice.

Please follow these steps:

Display Image in a Django Template (using ImageField)
* Add this to your settings file: ...
* Create a folder named “media” under your project root directory,
meaning the folder will be on the same level as your apps.
* Add these to your main urls.py. ...
* In your model, use ImageField for the field being used for the image. ...
* Add below to your template to load your images.

Yours
JJM

Sir thank you for your prompt reply. But it isn't clear to me. The images of drivers is getting stored in media/driver_photos and cars in media/car_photos, when uploaded from admin page. But car.html and driver.html both cannot display those images. Error occurring at the img src. I have written it as <img src="media/car_photos/{{ image_name.jpg }} alt="{{ image_name }}>. Please advice. Thanks in advance.

you must use load static tag in your templates as follow:

{% load static %}
<img src="{% static "my_app/example.jpg" %}" alt="My image">

i hope this solve the problem for more info refer to django official docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/howto/static-files/

regards

MMK, That is the solution for static files, not the dynamic one. How to upload images dynamically during runtime, such as the user uploads his/her profile image.
