Django: Image Field not showing up

Question

So my image is not displaying, here is my code: models.py:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils.translation import gettext_lazy as _

class ProfileImage(models.Model):
    """
    Profile model
    """
    user = models.OneToOneField(
        verbose_name=_('User'),
        to=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        related_name='profile',
        on_delete=models.CASCADE
    )
    avatar = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image')

settings.py:

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

urls.py:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from Home.views import home_view
from accounts.views import login_view, register_view, logout_view, user_home
from chat.views import Messages

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', home_view, name='home'),
    path('login/', login_view),
    path('signup/', register_view),
    path('logout/', logout_view),
    path('home/', user_home),
    path('messages/', include('chat.urls')),
    path('messages/', Messages),
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

user_home.html:

 <img src="{{ user.profileimage.avatar.url }}" alt="profile image">

I did all correct, also I can see my images in my media folders but in my template does not show up, does anybody know what is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Sinc the related_name='profile' in the ForeignKey is 'profile', you access it with

<img src="{{ user.profile.avatar.url }}" alt="profile image">

The related_name=… parameter [Django-doc] is the name of the relation in reverse. So to obtain the related ProfileImage object from a User object.

You can also decide to change related_name=… to related_name='profileimage', then you of course use {{ user.profileimage.avatar.url }}.
