python - Django Static image File Failed to load resource -

fixed solution, in main programs urls.py had add these lines.

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

urlpatterns += static(settings.media_url, document_root=settings.media_root)

i have model called item within there have image field. added new item image database , tried loading inside of index template. dont image when @ console says ("websitename/site_media/items/image.jpg 404 (not found)")

i think problem lies within settings.py file cant figure out did wrong here.

index.html template

{% load static %} <div class="item" style="background-image: url('{{ item.img.url }}')">` 

model.py

class item(models.model):     name = models.charfield(max_length=200)     img = models.imagefield(upload_to='items', default='', blank=true, null=true)      def __str__(self):         return "%s" % (self.name) 

views.py

def index(request):     latestitems = item.objects.all().order_by('-id')[:3][::-1]     return render(request, 'webshop/index.html', {'latestitems' :latestitems}) 

settings.py

site_root = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)) media_root = os.path.join(site_root, 'site_media/') media_url = 'site_media/' 

in settings.py

base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))  staticfiles_dirs = (     os.path.join(base_dir, "static"), ) static_url = '/static/' 

and read document

with directory root structure have shown, think above setting should work. have not tested though. let me know if works.
