django getting the absolute path of a FileField

Question

I am trying to retrieve the absolute path (starting with http://) while calling a FileField at the template.

How can I achieve this ?

ie: {{fl.uploadedfile

Answer 1

Just found the answer: adding .url fixes this issue fixes it such as {{fl.uploadedfile.url}}

Answer 2

The Django File object provides several convenience functions/attributes, one of which is the URL associated with the file. In this case, as you pointed out, you're looking for the url attribute.
