 Hi,

 I think you've made a lot of progress!

 The only thing I think you are missing now is that you should be using
 the following in your template:
 

 See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/models/field
 s/#filefield and https://docs.djangoproject
 .com/en/1.11/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.fields.file
 s.FieldFile.url

Re: CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[Andréas Kühne]

Hi,

great that you are getting how the media settings work.

If you look at this page :
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/static-files/ it explains what
static files are and how they work.  Basically, you use the static files
template tags in your html templates and then you can use the same solution
in development as in production. It's mainly good if you for example are
serving your static files from your computer in development, but from a CDN
i production (we do that on a project I wrote) and you then don't have to
change anything but the settings file in production.

The reason you need to add the configuration to your settings file is
because the django runserver process doesn't know where to serve your files
from otherwise. There are no "reasonable" defaults for those settings.

Hope that helps!

 Hi Andréas,


 Thank you for the response.

 I added these lines in my settings.py

 MEDIA_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

 # Media

 MEDIA_ROOT = MEDIA_DIR
 MEDIA_URL = '/media/

 Then I changed my logo to models.ImageField(upload_to='team_logo'). I
 also created a 'media' folder inside my project folder which team_logo is a
 subfolder in it. Tried running the codes again but the logo still wont
 show.


 {% block body_block %}

 
 
 {% for team in teams %}
 

 
  

 {{ team.name }}
 
 {% endfor %}
 


 {% endblock %}


 Is there any setting that I missed in media for media?


 Thanks,
 Jarvis

Re: CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[tango ward]

Hi Andreas,


I was able to display the images but I dont know how they work. I checked
some online resources and found out that I need to add these in my urls.py

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

and at the bottom of it, I added

if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL,
document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)


I also saw a urlpattern for STATIC_URL and STATIC_ROOT.

Would you have a minute or two to help me understand these codes?

I would really appreciate it.


Thanks

 Hi,

 There are a couple of things to think about here.

 First of all - just because you put an item on your computer doesn't
 mean that the icon can be served. For example, if you are running windows
 and you enter 'C:\pictures\icon.jpg' as the source for the icon, your
 server won't be able to find it, because the reference
 'C:\pictures\icon.jpg' doesn't mean anything for the web browser. The
 reason the image links you are inputting work is because they probably
 contain all information, ie http://www.example.com/pictures/icon.jpg.

 So you can get that sorted and everything should work. HOWEVER, I
 really think you should use the media storage functionality of Django for
 this. Checkout : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/files/.

 If you add the settings required (MEDIA_ROOT in the settings file) and
 then change you logo from a CharField to an ImageField AND upload your file
 via django admin, you should be able to show your file.

 Andréas

Re: CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[tango ward]

Hi Andreas,


Really appreciate your guidance on this.

I am having trouble understanding this:

3: All that will be stored in your database is a path to the file (relative
to MEDIA_ROOT
).
You’ll most likely want to use the convenience url

attribute provided by Django. For example, if your ImageField

is called mug_shot, you can get the absolute path to your image in a
template with {{ object.mug_shot.url }}.


I tried applying the object.logo.url but the logo still doesn't display.
Also where did the object and url came from?

 Hi guys, I am new to django currently stuck in these two.

 I am writing my pet project which will display a Team name and their
 logo. I used these lines for my Team class in mode.spy


 class Team(models.Model):
 name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
 logo = models.CharField(null=True, max_length=1000)


 def __str__(self):
 return self.name


 Problem is, I can't load the images to my html file My logo images are
 currently stored in my computer. The images will load properly if I grab an
 image link online and paste the image location to the Logo field in Admin
 but if I used the absolute path of the images in my computer, the images
 wont load. When I tried to inspect the page, I am getting "Image could not
 load".

 Any tips please?

Re: CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[tango ward]

Hi Andréas,


Thank you for the response.

I added these lines in my settings.py

MEDIA_DIR = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

# Media

MEDIA_ROOT = MEDIA_DIR
MEDIA_URL = '/media/

Then I changed my logo to models.ImageField(upload_to='team_logo'). I also
created a 'media' folder inside my project folder which team_logo is a
subfolder in it. Tried running the codes again but the logo still wont
show.


{% block body_block %}



{% for team in teams %}



 

{{ team.name }}

{% endfor %}



{% endblock %}


Is there any setting that I missed in media for media?


Thanks,
Jarvis

Re: CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[Andréas Kühne]

Hi,

There are a couple of things to think about here.

First of all - just because you put an item on your computer doesn't mean
that the icon can be served. For example, if you are running windows and
you enter 'C:\pictures\icon.jpg' as the source for the icon, your server
won't be able to find it, because the reference 'C:\pictures\icon.jpg'
doesn't mean anything for the web browser. The reason the image links you
are inputting work is because they probably contain all information, ie
http://www.example.com/pictures/icon.jpg.

So you can get that sorted and everything should work. HOWEVER, I really
think you should use the media storage functionality of Django for this.
Checkout : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/files/.

If you add the settings required (MEDIA_ROOT in the settings file) and then
change you logo from a CharField to an ImageField AND upload your file via
django admin, you should be able to show your file.

Regards,

Andréas

CharField vs ImageField for Logo

[tango ward]

Hi guys, I am new to django currently stuck in these two.

I am writing my pet project which will display a Team name and their logo.
I used these lines for my Team class in mode.spy


class Team(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
logo = models.CharField(null=True, max_length=1000)


def __str__(self):
return self.name


Problem is, I can't load the images to my html file My logo images are
currently stored in my computer. The images will load properly if I grab an
image link online and paste the image location to the Logo field in Admin
but if I used the absolute path of the images in my computer, the images
wont load. When I tried to inspect the page, I am getting "Image could not
load".

Any tips please?
