📸 Media & Static Files

For images to load correctly, configure settings.py:

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]

Run:

python manage.py collectstatic

Ensure DEBUG=False in production and set up proper media file handling.
