[Django]-Django The 'image' attribute has no file associated with it

The better approach which would not violate DRY is to add a helper method to the model class like:

@property
def image_url(self):
    if self.image and hasattr(self.image, 'url'):
        return self.image.url

and use default_if_none template filter to provide default url:

<img src="{{ object.image_url|default_if_none:'#' }}" />

My dear friend, others solvings are good but not enough because If user hasn’t profile picture you should show default image easily (not need migration). So you can follow below steps:

Add this method to your person model:

@property
def get_photo_url(self):
    if self.photo and hasattr(self.photo, 'url'):
        return self.photo.url
    else:
        return "/static/images/user.jpg"

You can use any path (/media, /static etc.) but don’t forget putting default user photo as user.jpg to your path.

And change your code in template like below:

<img src="{{ profile.get_photo_url }}" class="img-responsive thumbnail " alt="img">

Not exactly what OP was looking for, but another possible solution would be to set a default value for ImageField:

 class Profile(models.Model):
    # rest of the fields here
    image = models.ImageField(
        upload_to='profile_pics/',
        default='profile_pics/default.jpg')

you have two choices :

• first one:

in the model field try to put a default image value , like this :

PRF_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_img', blank=True, null=True , default='profile_img/925667.jpg')

• the second one (recommended) :

add a custom method inside your class model like the following , to return PRF_image url if exist or return empty string if not :

PRF_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_img', blank=True, null=True )

@property
def my_PRF_image(self):

    if self.PRF_image :
        return self.PRF_image.url
    return ''

and inside your template you can use :

{{ your_object.my_PRF_image }}

i hope this helpful .

You can also use the Python 3 built-in function getattr to create your new property:

@property
def image_url(self):
    """
    Return self.photo.url if self.photo is not None, 
    'url' exist and has a value, else, return None.
    """
    if self.image:
        return getattr(self.photo, 'url', None)
    return None

and use this property in your template:

<img src="{{ my_obj.image_url|default_if_none:'#' }}" />

Many way to solve this issue

Try below code

models.py # under Person class

@property
def imageURL(self):
    if self.image:
        return self.image.url
    else:
        return 'images/placeholder.png'

html file

<img src="{% static person.imageURL %}" class="thumbnail" />

Maybe this helps but my database didn’t save on of the pictures for the object displayed on the page.

As that object in models.py has blank=False and also I am looping through object, it constantly gave an error until I added a replacement picture in the admin for the database to render.

This error also arises when any one or more items doesn’t have an image added and the rest items do. To fix this:

class Product(models.Model):
    pname = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    price = models.IntegerField()
    img = models.ImageField(null = True,blank = True)
    def __str__(self):
        return self.pname
    @property
    def imageURL(self):
        try:
            url = self.img.url
        except:
            url=''
        return url

I had a similar problem , but my issue was with the form in HTML template. if you don’t set the enctype = "multipart/form-data" attribute then it does not upload the image hence the reason for the error
