Django: Display image in admin interface
UPDATE 2020
Because this answer is getting a lot of traction recently, I decided to make small edit. According to django doc it is recommended to use function format_html. As @chem1st suggested, if you need it only for admin, everything can be made in admin.py only.
My models.py
from django.db import models
class Product(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
description = models.TextField()
price = models.DecimalField(decimal_places = 2, max_digits = 20, default = 00.00)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=change_image_name, null=True, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
My admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.utils.html import format_html
from .models import Product
class ProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'description', 'price', 'image_tag')
def image_tag(self,obj):
return format_html('<img src="{0}" style="width: 45px; height:45px;" />'.format(obj.image.url))
admin.site.register(Product, ProductAdmin)
UPDATE django 2.0.6
I was solving this problem in latest django 2.0.6. I wanted have an image thumbnail in a list view in the django-admin.
Picture below is my default admin listview.
This is my models.py:
from django.db import models
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe
# Create your models here.
class Product(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
description = models.TextField()
price = models.DecimalField(decimal_places = 2, max_digits = 20, default = 00.00)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to=change_image_name, null=True, blank=True)
def image_tag(self):
if self.image:
return mark_safe('<img src="%s" style="width: 45px; height:45px;" />' % self.image.url)
else:
return 'No Image Found'
image_tag.short_description = 'Image'
def __str__(self):
return self.title
Please notice I had to use mark_safe() on the image string, otherwise you will get escaped html code instead of a thumbnail in the django-admin
Finally, this is my admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Product
# Register your models here.
class ProductAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'description', 'price', 'image_tag')
admin.site.register(Product, ProductAdmin)
Here we have to register the ProductAdmin class too, I didn't know that and it didn't work.
This is result:
You can create a model instance method with another name, allow HTML tags for its output and add this method as a list field. Here is an example:
First add a new method returning the HTML for the image inclusion:
class Article(models.Model):
...
def admin_image(self):
return '<img src="%s"/>' % self.img
admin_image.allow_tags = True
Then add this method to the list:
class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
...
list_display = ('url', 'title', 'admin_image')
