Django Admin Show Image from Imagefield

Question

While I can show an uploaded image in list_display is it possible to do this on the per model page (as in the page you get for changing a model)?

A quick sample model would be:

Class Model1(models.Model):     image = models.ImageField(upload_to=directory) 

The default admin shows the url of the uploaded image but not the image itself.

Thanks!

Sure. In your model class add a method like:

def image_tag(self):     from django.utils.html import escape     return u'<img src="%s" />' % escape(<URL to the image>) image_tag.short_description = 'Image' image_tag.allow_tags = True 

and in your admin.py add:

fields = ( 'image_tag', ) readonly_fields = ('image_tag',) 

to your ModelAdmin. If you want to restrict the ability to edit the image field, be sure to add it to the exclude attribute.

Note: With Django 1.8 and 'image_tag' only in readonly_fields it did not display. With 'image_tag' only in fields, it gave an error of unknown field. You need it both in fields and in readonly_fields in order to display correctly.
