Re: show an image in django

My setting.py is:
# Initialize App Engine and import the default settings (DB backend, etc.).
# If you want to use a different backend you have to remove all occurences
# of "djangoappengine" from this file.
from djangoappengine.settings_base import *

import os

# Activate django-dbindexer for the default database
DATABASES['native'] = DATABASES['default']
DATABASES['default'] = {'ENGINE': 'dbindexer', 'TARGET': 'native'}
AUTOLOAD_SITECONF = 'indexes'

SECRET_KEY = '=r-$b*8hglm+858&9t043hlm6-&6-3d3vfc4((7yd0dbrakhvi'

INSTALLED_APPS = (
#    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'djangotoolbox',
    'autoload',
    'dbindexer',
    'shape_practice',

    # djangoappengine should come last, so it can override a few manage.py commands
    'djangoappengine',
   
)

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    # This loads the index definitions, so it has to come first
    'autoload.middleware.AutoloadMiddleware',

    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
)

TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
    'django.core.context_processors.request',
    'django.core.context_processors.media',
    'django.core.context_processors.static',
)

# This test runner captures stdout and associates tracebacks with their
# corresponding output. Helps a lot with print-debugging.
TEST_RUNNER = 'djangotoolbox.test.CapturingTestSuiteRunner'

ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/media/admin/'
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'templates'),)

ROOT_URLCONF = 'urls'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

# Additional locations of static files
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/static" or "C:/www/django/static".
    # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
    # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.   
    "E:/code/python/djangoBook/django-testapp-develop/static",  #this only used for local debug
)

and I use STATIC_URL in the html
<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}images/gauge_example.jpg" alt = "aa gauge example" width = "390" height = "225" />

But, it must be something wrong in my setting.py since the project can't find the image.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try removing .. from the path. Also make sure your static path is set correctly in settings.py

Hi all,

I want to show an image in project in which the folder DIR looks like this:

images/a.jpg

templates/introduction.html

In introduction.html I use
<img src="../images/a.jpg" alt = "example" width = "390" height = "225">

It can show image correctly when I open the "introduction.html" directly using firefox, but it shows ""GET /images/gauge_example.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 " when I open it in http://127.0.0.1:8000/introduction/, and there is no image in the webpage.

I used the last method in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2148738/cannot-get-images-to-display-in-simple-django-site . But it doesn't work.

Could anyone give me some suggestions?
