How to view images in Django's Admin

On the Django management site, there was a case that "If the image can be displayed on the list screen, it would be good work efficiency", but when I checked it, it was very easy, so I will record it as Tips.

I'm a little sorry that Qiita has only a little simple information, but Django is often filled with Stack Overflow even if you do a Google search, so there is little information that hits in Japanese, so it is useful for someone I think it may be posted.

For this article, we have confirmed the operation with Django 1.8.

How to write

I'll write it as a continuation of my book How to use ManyToManyField with Django's Admin.

As shown below, define a method (ʻadmin_og_image) with an arbitrary name that returns the file path of the image in models.py, and set ʻallow_tags = True.

models.py

     title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
     author = models.ForeignKey(Author, blank=True, null=True)
     meta = models.ManyToManyField('Tag')
-
+    og_image = models.ImageField(default='')
+    
     def __unicode__(self):
         return self.title
+    
+    def admin_og_image(self):
+        if self.og_image:
+            return '<img src="{}" style="width:100px;height:auto;">'.format(self.og_image)
+        else:
+            return 'no image'
+        
+    admin_og_image.allow_tags = True

Then add the method name to list_display in admin.py and you're done.

admin.py

Supplement

In addition, it is also possible to write it completely with only admin.py, in which case it is OK if you write as follows.
