Cannot get MEDIA_URL from Django widget's template
- by Eric
Hi folks,
I am a new Djangoer, and figuring out how to build custom widget, my problem is cannot get the MEDIA_URL in my widget's template, while the form use MySelectWidget able to get the MEDIA_URL itself.
#
#plus_sign.html
#
<a href="" class="" id="id_{{ field }}">
<img src="{{ MEDIA_URL }}images/plus_sign.gif" width="10" height="10" alt="Add"/>
</a>
*^ cannot load the {{ MEDIA_URL}} to this widget's template, and therefore I can't load the .gif image properly. :(*
#
#custom_widgets.py
#
from django import forms
class MySelectMultiple(forms.SelectMultiple):
def render(self, name, *args, **kwargs):
html = super(MySelectMultiple, self).render(name, *args, **kwargs)
plus = render_to_string("plus_sign.html", {'field': name})
return html+plus
#
#forms.py
#
from django import forms
from myapp.custom_widgets.py import MySelectMultiple
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
contacts = forms.ModelMultipleChoiceField(Contact.objects, required=False, widget=MySelectMultiple)
#
#views.py
#
def AddContacts(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MyForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
new = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/addedContact/')
else:
form = MyForm()
return render_to_response('shop/my_form.html', {'form': form}, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
#
#my_form.html
#
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{{ form.contacts }}
{% endblock %}
Please let me know how can I load the widget's image properly. Thank you so much for all responses.
