Re: couldn't render a media image via a template

Make sure that "django.core.context_processors.media" is listed in
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS of your settings.py.

If above context processor is not listed then MEDIA_URL won't be
available in template.

Another reason for this can be that you are using render_to_response
instead of render in your view function. render forces the use of
RequestContext but in render_to_response you have to manually use the
request variable while creating RequestContext.

Please have a look at
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5154358/django-what-is-the-difference-between-render-render-to-response-and-direc
for more details.
