Re: Trouble Accessing An Image through ImageField
Hi, I think , first of all, you should have tags around the url. . if you are able to get the image if you direct your browser to http://192.0.0.1:8000/images/photo.jpg ? if yes, then the above is the solution . If not then you should set your image files to be served as setatic files. This might help . https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/static-files/ Cheers, On Mon, Dec 24, 2012 at 12:07 AM, That guy wrote: > Hi there, > > I'm trying to create a photo gallery by storing photos in a gallery > database and pulling them out when appropriate. > > However, I ran into the problem of how to publicly expose the pictures in > urls.

RE: Django asset management and dynamically created databases

In the database the tablenames all begin with the app name followed by an underscore and then the model name. If it was me (and not knowing any better) I would replicate emp as employee right alongside and change the source to nominate employee as the app name. Add employee as another app and manage.py syncdb again. That would give you a second app alongside emp in the admin. Depending on how much data you have, you could dump from emp and load into employee or simply re-enter your data. When everything is working, drop emp.

Trouble Accessing An Image through ImageField
Hi there, I'm trying to create a photo gallery by storing photos in a gallery database and pulling them out when appropriate. However, I ran into the problem of how to publicly expose the pictures in urls. In my template, I return a the url of the photo which turns out to be images/photo.jpg. However in my development server, when I put in the url 192.0.0.1:8000/images/photo.jpg, I can't view the image. Is there any way to make the url/image accessible through the url provided by the object without manually tampering with urls.py? If not, why does Django provide the .url field? Is this the only a recommended url field then? My View: def gallery(request): base_gallery = gall.objects.get(name="base") base_list = base_gallery.photos.all() return render_to_response('gallery.html', {'list_of_images':base_list}, context_instance = RequestContext(request), ) Template: {% extends "index.html" %}{% block body_content %} {% for photo in list_of_images %} {{ photo.image.url }}{% endfor %}{% endblock %} Model: from django.db import models class photo(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50,blank=True,null=True) source_descr = models.CharField(max_length=100,blank=True,null=True) image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images') class gallery(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=50) photos = models.ManyToManyField(photo) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Django asset management and dynamically created databases

It sems you have correctly created a MySQL database, you've given it the name 'test' and you've verified it exist adn can be used. Good. You've also provided Django presumably the right server name (localhost) and credentials (root/empty) so it can access such database. Great. But there is a crucial link missing. You haven't told Django you want it to use that database fotr this project/application. That's what the NAME setting above is for. Use it.

When i executed "*python manage.py sql polls*" i got this stack trace * * *Traceback (most recent call last):* * File "manage.py", line 10, in * *execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 443, in execute_from_command_line* *utility.execute()* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 382, in execute* *self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 196, in run_from_argv* *self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 232, in execute* *output = self.handle(*args, **options)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 304, in handle* *app_output = self.handle_app(app, **options)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/sql.py", line 19, in handle_app* *return u'\n'.join(sql_create(app, self.style, connections[options.get('database')])).encode('utf-8')* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/sql.py", line 26, in sql_create* *tables = connection.introspection.table_names()* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/__init__.py", line 910, in table_names* *return self.get_table_list(cursor)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/introspection.py", line 33, in get_table_list* *cursor.execute("SHOW TABLES")* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/util.py", line 40, in execute* *return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/mysql/base.py", line 114, in execute* *return self.cursor.execute(query, args)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 202, in execute* *self.errorhandler(self, exc, value)* * File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/MySQL_python-1.2.4b4-py2.7-macosx-10.8-intel.egg/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 36, in defaulterrorhandler* *raise errorclass, errorvalue* *django.db.utils.DatabaseError: (1046, 'No database selected')* I've been googling and everyone says that i don't have access to the mysql database for "polls" but i was able to access the database when i entered *mysql -u root -h localhost polls* This is how my settings.py looks like for database: *DATABASES = {* *'default': {* *'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.* *'NAME': '', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.* *'USER': 'root', # Not used with sqlite3.* *'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.* *'HOST': 'localhost', # Set to empty string for localhost.
