Django MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT

Question

I\'m trying to upload an image via the Django admin and then view that image either in a page on the frontend or just via a URL.

Note this is all on my local machine

Answer 1

Another problem you are likely to face after setting up all your URLconf patterns is that the variable {{ MEDIA_URL }} won't work in your templates. To fix this,in your settings.py, make sure you add

django.core.context_processors.media

in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.
