I am encountering an issue with my Django web application. Users are able to upload images successfully, but for some reason the URLs of these images are not being set properly when stored in Azure Cloud Storage. As a result, when I try to display these images using the code snippet below in my template, all I see is a broken image:
{% if entry.image_file %}
<img src="{{ entry.image_file.url }}"></img><br>
{% endif %}
I have implemented a custom storage class in my models.py file as shown below. Can you help me identify what might be missing or causing this issue?
from django.db import models
import os
from django.conf import settings
from django.core.files.storage import Storage
from azure.storage.blob import BlobService
accountName = 'accname'
accountKey = 'acckey'
class OverwriteStorage(Storage):
container = 'containername'
account_name = accountName
account_key = accountKey
def __init__(self, account_name=None, account_key=None, container=None):
# constructor logic here...
# other methods defined here...
class Entry(models.Model):
description = models.TextField(validators=[MaxLengthValidator(500)])
submitted_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
image_file = models.ImageField(upload_to=upload_to_location, storage=OverwriteStorage(), null=True, blank=True)
I have referred to examples and documentation to create this custom storage class and implement the necessary URL method. However, it seems that the URL method is not being called as expected (I verified this with a print statement). Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
