Images from ImageField in Django don't load in template

Question

I\'m building a gallery using Django(1.5.1) on my local machine. In my Album model I have a ImageField. There is a view to show all images of an album. It works

Answer 1

Well I know this question is old but I solved it right now after prove all options:

1. settings.py:

    MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
    MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

2. urls.py DANGER!!! Here one of my errors was that I used my_app/urls.py... If you want to use my_app/urls.py you need to add "/namespace_name{{ image.image.url }}" to img' src:

    from django.conf.urls.static import static
    from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
    from django.conf import settings

    urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

3. Your template, detail.html

    img src="{{ image.image.url }}" alt="{{ image.title }}"

NOTES: Yo don't need MEDIA_URL, be careful with the '/' because image.image.url is absolute, so if you use a namespace then you don't need to add the finish slash.

    img src="/namespace_name/{{ image.image.url }}"  --> BAD!!!
    img src="/namescape_name{{ image.image.url }}"   --> GOOD!!!
