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
