I'm facing an issue with serving my static files. My images are stored in project/static/images
When I try to display images on my homepage, no problem, the url is good. But now that I'm trying t o display images on other pages I have the following error :
"GET /contact_details/static/images/contact_image.png HTTP/1.1" 404 4212 Django is adding the name of my page 'contact_details' before the image path.
Here's my code :
settings.py
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [BASE_DIR,'accounts'],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]
MEDIA_URL = '/images/'
MEDIA_ROOT =BASE_DIR /'images'
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name="home"),
path('contact_details/', views.contactDetails, name="contact_details"),
]
urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
views.py
def contactDetails(request, pk):
contact = Contact.objects.get(id=pk)
image = Image.objects.get(id=contact.image_id)
form = ContactForm(instance=contact)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ContactForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=contact)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('contact_image', args=(pk,)))
context = {'contact' : contact, 'image' : image, 'form' : form}
return render(request, 'accounts/contact_details.html', context)
contact_details.html
{% load static %}
<img src="{{ image.path }}" class="img-fluid">
I found on the forum that for other people the problem came from the STATIC_URL not starting with a slash, but in my case in didn't change nothing.
EDIT
It works now with these 2 changes :
settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
]
MEDIA_URL = '/images/'
MEDIA_ROOT =BASE_DIR
contact_details.html
{% load static %}
<img src="{{ image.path.url }}" class="img-fluid">
