Hi,
I've a project photo and an application gallery. I want to do a very
simple thing: When the URL http://localhost:8000/gallery/ is accessed,
a page will be displayed containing a single image. I've set the
necessary variables and mapped the URLs.
The problem is, in the base.html template (where I'm using
{{ MEDIA_URL }} to denote the path of the image), the value of the
variable MEDIA_URL is not getting substituted -- it appears as blank.
For example, with the following settings:
[photo/settings.py]
DEBUG = True
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/barun/codes/python/django/test/photo/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/gallery/s_media/'
[photo/urls.py]
(r'^gallery/', include('photo.gallery.urls')),
[gallery/urls.py]
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'photo.gallery.views.index'),
(r'^s_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
[gallery/views.py]
def index(request):
return render_to_response('base.html', {})
[templates/base.html]
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}images/header/gear_blue_lab.png" alt="Gear" /
>
when the HTML page is finally displayed in the browser, the image
source appears as
<img src="images/header/gear_blue_lab.png" alt="Gear" />
Could anyone please suggest on this?
Thanks!
