django images upload dir and template handling

I have some model with a FileField() looks like this:

image = models.FileField(upload_to='/Users/john/projects/MyDjangoApp/foobars/images/')

So foobar is some module from MyDjangoApp. In future there comes another module like barfoos and this will have an own images folder.

What I don't understand is how to handle this in the template. Now there stand something like: 

<td><img src="{{ foobar.image.url }}" height="350" width="350"></td>

So there stand the following:

/Users/john/projects/MyDjangoApp/foobars/images/71RkbKwBxnL._SL1004_.jpg

But it must be, something like:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/foobars/images/71RkbKwBxnL._SL1004_.jpg

All url patterns I find only handle this if the images hosted in /MyDjangoApp/static/images, I wish to handle the files in /MyDjangoApp/foobars/images and later /MyDjangoApp/barfoos/images.

Ho to handle this in Django.

Thanks a lot for your time!

The upload_to argument should be a path relative to your MEDIA_ROOT setting. The url that you'll use to access the file is the same relative path appended to your MEDIA_URL setting.

Also check out the documentation on FileFields and ImageFields and on the MEDIA_ROOT and MEDIA_URL settings
