How to set default image from not from media directory

I don't know how to correctly set default path to none-media image.
I've tried to add /, but it doesn't help:

...
image = models.ImageField(...
                         default='/static/course_lesson/resources/images/default.jpg')
...

And in HTML page image.url looked as follows:

...
src="/media/static/course_lesson/resources/images/default.jpg"
...
Solution

  • Try adding this to your model

    def image_url (self):
    if self.image: return self.image.url
    else: return static("course_lesson/resources/images/default.jpg")

    Then within template

    src="{{ object.image_url }}"
