A base.html files needs to be defined, So that the templates will render.
Good to have a document say a 2 page document describing the views and a demo django project with basic working code and html
Thanks Subramanyam
Just a note on using the Image library. I was receiving this error "decoding error when reading image file" and this time I could not use google to find the answer. The image library installed and the tests passed and in a python shell I could open/load and get details on a jpeg but when trying to load a jpeg I was getting the error above. I don't know where I missed it but I had 2 libjpeg versions on my system. Ran "lsof | grep libjpeg" and apache was using /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62.0.0 and the python shell was using /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.7.0.0 Once I changed the symlinks to point to 7.0.0 the reading of jpeg files worked.
Hi, what i need to put inside base.html ? Thanks
this is the error i receive Template u'base.html' cannot be extended, because it doesn't exist
and this is what i put inside base.html
<html>
</html>Very simple base.html, should display title and photo and nothing else:
<html> <head> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> </head> <body> {% block content %}{% endblock %} </body> </html>I dont understand the MEDIA_URL parameter. I mean, I already have a MEDIA_ROOT configured to /some/path/where/the/zip/should/be/kept, ok. But whats the MEDIA_URL for? Should I have a url configured to the MEDIA_ROOT, is it?
Thanks!
Photologue seems to install OK (although there are definitely some gaps in the instructions above for the novice Django user), but it doesn't display any of the images. Images upload to the media directory ok, and the template displays, but the HREF for the images is obviously pointed to the wrong directory, so none of the images display. Tips? I've worked through the README several times and I'm at my wit's end.
There's a Google group set up for support requests and questions: http://groups.google.com/group/django-photologue
It sounds like your MEDIA_ROOT or MEDIA_URL settings are incorrect.
i've install it and runs fine. however if u find the link images are somewhat broken, check the link/path in dev server log. im my project photologue created a directory in my project root not in the static media directory, moving that directory to media dir fix the problem. hope it helps
I really like how in mezzanine I just:
> easy_install django-mezzanine > mezzanine-project myproject > cd myproject > python manage.py syncdb --noinput > python manage.py runserver (navigate to localhost:8000/admin)
No configuration, no editing files, just run the installation and I have a working site.
Can we get something simple like that for photologue?
Is there any really simple way to integrate photologue functionality in mezzanine or some other such simple blogging site?
Error when I try to install django-photologue. python setup.py install. please help
when i install it i have an error ('NoneType?' object has no attribute 'rindex')
In django 1.3+ (excerpt from Django docs) local development one should have urls.py similar to this:
from django.conf import settings from django.conf.urls.static import static urlpatterns = patterns('', # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ... ) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)Note, the snippet assumes your MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT are properly set (i.e. '/media/' and '/home/path/to/media/') in settings.py.
