Django can't display image

Question

I am trying to show an image but every time image is broken:

settings.py

MEDIA_ROOT = "media/"

models.py

image = models.ImageField(null=True, blank=True, upload_to='article_image/')

Template (presenter.html)

<img src="{{ art.image.path }}">

The path looks like this /home/mikemoix/IdeaProjects/vlad/media/article_image/aptitude_test1.gif

What can I do?

There are a couple things that might be the problem. First, to get the link version you need to use {{art.image.ur}], which will give you the link version, rather than {{art.image.path}}, which gives you the file system path. You also might need to change your MEDIA_ROOT to "/media/" -- but that would depend on what your file structure actually looks like — MBrizzle

The correct way to link to an image is:

<img src="{{ art.image.url }}">

An ImageField is essentially stored as a FieldFile. See the docs for details.

@user3551959 Can you post both MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL lines in your settings.py?
