Django not recognizing the MEDIA_URL path?

Question

So I\'m trying to get TinyMCE up and running on a simple view function, but the path to the tiny_mce.js file gets screwed up. The file is located at /Users/home/Django/tinyMCE/m

Answer 1

I was also having the same problem, this is how I got it done.

If you are using a FileField in your model class instead of MEDIA_URL use .url member to access the url of your file. For eg: something like this

href = "{{ some_object.file_name.url }}" 

here file_name is the FileField in model class.
