I've fallen into a problem with resolving the correct url of uploaded
images. I've made sure that my routing/templates work correctly and the
problem is somewhere inside the model layer.
This is my model class:
from django.db import models
from tinymce.models import HTMLField
class Article(models.Model):
"""News article, displayed on homepage to attract users"""
class Meta:
db_table = 'article'
title = models.CharField(max_length=64)
headline = models.CharField(max_length=255)
content = HTMLField()
image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'articles', null=True, blank=True)
active = models.BooleanField()
created_at = models.DateTimeField()
def __unicode__(self):
return self.title
Now when I open my django shell, I get wrong url/path values. The
'upload_to' kwarg (defined in Article model for image field) is ignored and
I don't know why.
$ ./manage.py shell
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:14:39)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from articles.models import Article
>>> Article.objects.all().get(pk=1)
<Article: Blackened Recordings Launches>
>>> Article.objects.all().get(pk=1).image.path
u'/var/www/django/djninja/djninja/media/slide-03.jpg'
>>> Article.objects.all().get(pk=1).image.url
'/media/slide-03.jpg'
I've defined MEDIA and MEDIA_ROOT in the settings.py:
PROJECT_DIR = os.path.dirname(__file__)
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_DIR, "media")
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
I expect the path/url to be media/articles/slide.jpg instead of
media/slide.jpg
Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
