I want to use my own logo.png but when I add it in the admin-interface page it does not show fully

I want to use the logo here, but when I add it in the admin-interface theme it only shows the top left 20 pixels or so.

I have tried setting max height and width but no change.

After loading the file does show in /admin-interface/

Height or width are not the problem: this is not a style issue, we can see your browser’s icon that shows the file could not be loaded.
If you look at the page HTML (with browser devtools: right click → inspect element), what URL is in the element <img src="...">?
If you open that URL in your browser, what do you get?
Is your project correctly configured for django media (uploaded) files?

[merwok]

It’s strange that your media root is base_dir + /admin-interface; this is a general django setting, usually people name it media or uploads.

Have you read all the doc: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/settings/#media-url
and set up serving: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/howto/static-files/#serving-uploaded-files-in-development

[trexmo]

I tried /admin-interface because I saw that before I added the settings changes, that is where your admin-interface module stored the uploaded log file.

Ok starting over to avoid compounding errors.

Settings...

`
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')

Base url to serve media files

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Path where media is stored'

MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'
`

Used admin Interface theme to upload new Brolly-Logo.jpg

<img class="logo" style="display:none;" src="/media/admin-interface/logo/Brolly-Logo.jpg">
Still getting...
"GET /media/admin-interface/logo/Brolly-Logo.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 2318

What am I missing?

[trexmo]

Added...

'django.template.context_processors.media',

to get...

TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', 'django.template.context_processors.media', ], }, }, ]

no change still getting...

GET /media/admin-interface/logo/Brolly-Logo.jpg HTTP/1.1" 404 2318

Tried...

`

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
path("brollysaas/", include("brollysaas.urls")),
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
path("media/", static(settings.MEDIA_URL,document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT))
]`
from the docs but

venv\Lib\site-packages\django\urls\conf.py", line 71, in _path urlconf_module, app_name, namespace = view ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 1)

[trexmo]

Ok the problem was in my urls.py. Here is the working version.

`
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
path("brollysaas/", include("brollysaas.urls")),
path("admin/", admin.site.urls),

]

if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)`

Although I saw that in the current version of Django if debug is not needed. This works anyway.
