Hi Periklis, I'm having a hard time understanding and I think it's better if I send you a video of my issue with choosing a file. Please check this: s3.amazonaws.com/django-error/prob...

I saw the video. But it doesnt say a lot to me.This might not work for too many reasons. Can you please do the process as described in various articles and on django docs, and if you still cant make it, please come back withwhat you did and the errors you get.

Thanks

I actually found a workaround until I figure out the problem. Im trying to get the photo show up on the dropdown but when I click it, nothing shows even if the files are on the right folder

Great! I've been wondering what I was missing on my code to upload files from the admin. Will check this the first thing tomorrow. Cheers!

What I'm trying to do is I'm trying to upload images from the admin and access it thru this dropdown(seen on the video/photo) but when I click it, it does not show anything.

What do the logs say? I am afraid I cannot help with guessing. :)

When I use this

image = models.FileField(upload_to='static/')
it returns a
Server Error (500)
on the admin.


When I use
image = models.FileField("/img")
It return a
Server Error (500)
on the site.

When I use
models.FilePathField(path=os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'home/projects/static/img'))
it returns a
Server Error (500)
on the admin.

Im confused. I just want to upload images from the admin to the portfolio page of my site.

As explained a couple of times above, those are generic errors and without more specific info or code I am afraid I cannot be of much help, if my only weapon is guessing.

There are various tutorials online. Please have a look and if you have any specific questions please ask again.

A great tutorial that will help: wsvincent.com/django-image-uploads/
