How to use solr thumbnail in django on windows environment

Question

I am trying to use sorl-thumbnail to provide image thumbnails. I have followed the documentation properly.

1. I have installed memchached for windows, configured in the setting.py file.
2. I have also installed Python Image Library
3. I have installed sorl-thumbnails

I tried to use it in the templates as shown in this example. I do not have any error, the templatetag is being loaded but when I try to display the image, it does not come up. What can be the possible reason for this.

Answer 1

I'm assuming you're getting 404 errors since you're not getting "loud" errors.

You need to prefix the url with your static URL (or media url - wherever you've configured static files to load from). If you're using django's staticfiles app, that would be

<img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}{{ image.url }}" />
