I am having a problem with ImageField saving. I am running admin from
mod_python with apache2. I put an absolute path to the 'upload_to'
option. When i press save, the imagefile gets uploaded to the directory
specified in the 'upload_to' option, but this does not get saved in the
database table. I get an error:
File
"/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/meta/fields.py",
line 320, in get_db_prep_save
value = value.strftime('%Y-%m-%d')
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'strftime'
i realise that this has something to do with paths, but am unable to
figure it out. The main.py in settings has two options:
MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT
If i want to save my images in:
/home/something/images, if i give this absolute path in the
'upload_to', it works to upload the file, but not to save it in the
database. So what do i put in the abovesaid MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT?
admin.py has
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX which i got to work
do i need a MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT in the admin.py also
