What I'm trying to do is I'm trying to upload images from the admin and access it thru this dropdown(seen on the video/photo) but when I click it, it does not show anything.

What do the logs say? I am afraid I cannot help with guessing. :)

When I use this 

image = models.FileField(upload_to='static/')
it returns a 
Server Error (500)
on the admin.


When I use 
image = models.FileField("/img")
It return a 
Server Error (500)
on the site.

When I use 
models.FilePathField(path=os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'home/projects/static/img'))
it returns a 
Server Error (500)
on the admin.

Im confused. I just want to upload images from the admin to the portfolio page of my site.

As explained a couple of times above, those are generic errors and without more specific info or code I am afraid I cannot be of much help, if my only weapon is guessing.

There are various tutorials online. Please have a look and if you have any specific questions please ask again.

A great tutorial that will help: wsvincent.com/django-image-uploads/
