Add Default Profile Pic With Static Files - Django Blog #29

In this video we'll add a default profile picture using Django Static Files to our Blog.

In the last video we set up profile pictures and output a user bio under each blog post. But what happens if the user doesn't upload a profile picture? We need to output a generic default profile pic and we'll do that by setting up Static Files.

Hello John,

I have a question about 02:22.

{% if %}
<img src= "{{ }}"
class="card-img">
{% endif %}

for this part, when I have profile-photo user there is no problem.
when I have nonprofile-photo user there is "ValueError: The 'profile_pic' attribute has no file associated with it." error. But you had blank profile photo place and blog was opening.

Be sure I tried to fix by myself at least 1 hour but I couldnt find.

Thanks.

got a question: how can you concatenate de src value on the img tag that shows up in {% else %} block, with a jinja value like {{request.user.id}} per say?

Thank you for your video, it's great video, would you please explain why need another statement of STATICFIELS_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')], if we already had STATICFIELS_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')) in our setting page. Thank you for your answer.

I followed this video 4 times to see if I did anything wrong but my static files wont load. The video after this doesnt help either. That If statement to load the static file when someone has no profile pic, it keeps sending back a 404 in the terminal and I truly have no idea why. It shows the path in the tools and in the terminal but to no avail. I worked around it by moving my default pic to the media/images folder and linking the img src to

How to display a randomly chosen profile picture, from a folder with default pictures, once a user signs up?

Thank you for posting it, before it's timeline 😊

I don't know why but it is still giving "The 'profile_pic' attribute has no file associated with it." error and yes I have the old version of django which has os module imported already.

Meet same issue with me. "invalid block tag on line 4: 'static', expected 'endblock'. Did you forget to register or load this" add {% load static %} after {% extends 'base.html' %}

Hey, sorry for the late comment, I just found out about the series and I am almost done with the project. I have one question that I can't really get my head around and if you could answer it I would appreciate it heavenly. I want to make the home page, (where the posts are shown) with cards from bootstrap and to use the grid from bootstrap. I would like to get 4 posts in a row and then continue with the others below them. I tried by splitting the object_list in lists containing chunks of 4 elements. I tried Paginator but without result. Can you help me please, I am in need of help. Thank you!

Thank you!!!! Thought I was going crazy before found this video

[efrainvalles]

this vid helped me detangle my mind. I was having issues using "default" property of imagefile field vs just KIS and do what is in the video.
