Try to display images from a directory in Django

I try to display all images from a directory that is in the project.
In the views.py
def showimages(request):
path='C:\\Users\Peter\PycharmProjects\displayimages\displayimages\display\static'
img_list = os.listdir(path)
return render(request, 'displayphotos.html', {'images':img_list})
In the html file
{% for image in images %}
<p>{{image}}</p>
<img src="{% static '{{image}}' %}">
{% endfor %}
But the display is
<p>DSC_5390.jpg</p>
<img src="/static/%7B%7Bimage%7D%7D">
<p>DSC_5392.jpg</p>
<img src="/static/%7B%7Bimage%7D%7D">
If I print them in paragraph tag, all file names are correct, but all wrong in img tag. How can I fix it?

you have an easy issue, just write
<img src="{% static {{image}} %}">
insead of
<img src="{% static '{{image}}' %}">
remove the simple quotes

if you have the image inside you static folder than you first need to load the static folder in setting file.
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
]
and than just load the image with the correct path in your template. if you have a folder for your images than
<img src="{% static 'images/grad-hat.png' %}">
else the image name
<img src="{% static 'grad-hat.png' %}">

Can't load static image in django when using a loop

I cant get an image to load in django when i use a for loop, the image will load if i specify the path for each file.
Works:
when I try to use a loop it won't load the images.
view.py:
operators = []
directory =
os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.join(os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR)
,'static'),'images'),'operators')
for file in os.listdir(directory):
if file.endswith(".png") or file.endswith(".jpg"):
operators.append(file)
then i try to return image using context.
html file:
{% if operators %}
There are {{ operators|length }} records:
{% for operator in operators %}
<div class="media">
<img src="{{operator}}" class="align-self-center mr-3" alt="...">
</div>
{{operator}}
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
There are no records in the system
{% endif %}
It would be amazing if someone had an idea on how to fix my code.
settings.py:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# Pointing django to the static file location.
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'),
)

The answer may vary depending on which version of Django you're using.
For Django 3.0, the following should work
# settings.py
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
'static',
]
Then inside templates-
{% load static %}
<img src="{% static '{{ operator.url }}' %}">
I'm guessing the images may appear instead with the following-
<img src="{{ operator.url }}">

getting an image from static/img into a template in Django

I have a Django project with a static/img folder I want to get this image loaded but since it's in a variable and static points to my static folder, not static/img I'm not sure how to get it in. I tried f'img/{project.image}'
I'm iterating through projects so
project.image is set to equal "some_image_for_this_project.jpg" in my database
<img class="card-img-top" src="{% static project.image %}">

Probably not the most elegant solution, but this is how it should work:
<img src="{% static 'images/' %}{{ project.image }}>

Maybe it will help
1.) Youre template.html
{% load static %}
{% static 'img/name_img.jpg' %}
*This solution works for the directory structure
app
/__pycache__
/migrations
/templates
/static/img/[YOURE_FILES...]
__init__.py
[...]

Django Server Static files

I am trying to use the following code to link to the correct image based on the rating. However the server interprets as http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/images/rating-%7B%7Bfeedback.reception_courtesy%7D%7D.gif instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/images/rating-1.gif
<img src="{% static 'images/rating-{{feedback.reception_courtesy}}.gif' %}" alt="My image"/>
I am not sure where I am running wrong here.

The problem is that variables are not interpolated within the url parameter of {% static 'url' %}, so {{feedback.reception_courtesy}} is taken literally.
Do it like this:
<img src="{% static 'images' %}/rating-{{feedback.reception_courtesy}}.gif" alt="My image"/>
This works fine because the variable is now outside of {% static ... %}, and because {% static 'one/two/three' %} is equivalent to {% static 'one/two' %}/three

load static file with variable name in django

I'm trying to do load the following static file
img file
where image is in a for loop of images derived from a database.
But I simply got an error Could not parse the remainder: '{{' from ''static/matrices/'{{'
What should I do to fix this? I can't use relative paths because this will be used by subsections as well, with the same html template.

You should pass a full string to the static tag from staticfiles. This is so it can use your staticstorages to find your file.
{% load staticfiles %}
{% with 'images/'|add:image.title|add:'.png' as image_static %}
{% static image_static %}
{% endwith %}
But in your use case it might be better if you just store the path of the images on the image model itself.

I got this to work by using an empty string for the static path and then using my variables in their own section, like this:
<a href= "{% static "" %}{{obj.a}}/{{obj.b}}/{{obj.c}}.gz" >Name</a>

You can use get_static_prefix template tag. get_static_prefix is a variable that contains the path specified in your STATIC_URL. Your code would be:
{% load static %}
img file
or
{% load static %}
{% get_static_prefix as STATIC_PREFIX %}
img file
Reference: get_static_prefix

You should avoid nesting tags.
What are you trying to solve? Isn't the image part of dynamic content? The static tag is for static content not uploaded media files.
If you must use the static tag the correct way would be something in the order of;
{% static image %} or {% static image.file %}
Depending on the object layout. If you're using an ImageField (inherits FileField) the image object already holds the path, so there's no need to manually add extensions.

What I ended up doing was to just split the path from the name itself. Those images represents tabs, are static and in a sequence. They are not connected to the database imagewise.
I didn´t want to repeat the html for every run so I ended up doing a forloop like this, a bit simplified.
{% for option in options_obj %}
<img class="highlight" src="{% static "store/img/editor/tab-" %}
{{ option.name.lower }}-selected.png">
{% endfor %}
EDIT:
Even though this does work in most situations it can really mess stuff up as well. For me this occured when having different images for different language settings and at the same time using tools like CachedStaticFilesStorage. If you need to add language code or something else to your image this is a more solid solution
{% for option in options_obj %}
<img class="highlight" src="{% static "store/img/editor/tab-"
|add:LANGUAGE_CODE|add:"-selected.png" %}">
{% endfor %}

Too many quotes!
Just
img file
and you don't have to call the static in the link because you already load the static
