Serving media files

Before creating the models for courses and course contents, we will prepare the project to serve media files. Course instructors will be able to upload media files to course contents using the CMS that we will build. Therefore, we will configure the project to serve media files.

Edit the settings.py file of the project and add the following lines:

MEDIA_URL = 'media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'

This will enable Django to manage file uploads and serve media files. MEDIA_URL is the base URL used to serve the media files uploaded by users. MEDIA_ROOT is the local path where they reside. Paths and URLs for files are built dynamically by prepending the project path or the media URL to them for portability.

Now, edit the main urls.py file of the educa project and modify the code, as follows. New lines are highlighted in bold:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.conf import settings
