I'd like to implement a functionality in an app of mine, but I don't
know how to go about it. What I want is this: I have a model class
that uses imagekit to save its images, and I'd like to have the users
being able to update the images easily for the vehicles without having
to edit each respective vehicle record.
How they'll do this is that there will be a folder containing sub-
folders for each vehicle in the format <stock_number>/PUBLIC, then if
a user moves images into the PUBLIC folder for a vehicle, when the
script is executed, it'll compare those images with the current ones
and update them if those in the PUBLIC folder are newer. If the record
has no images, then they will be added. Also, if the vehicle's record
has images that have been deleted from the site_media directory, then
their links should be deleted from the database.
How can I go about this in an efficient way? I have no idea on how to
go about this so any help would be appreciated. My models are as
below:
class Photo(ImageModel):
name = models.CharField(max_length = 100)
original_image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'photos')
num_views = models.PositiveIntegerField(editable = False,
default=0)
position = models.ForeignKey(PhotoPosition)
content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type',
'object_id')
class IKOptions:
spec_module = 'vehicles.specs'
cache_dir = 'photos'
image_field = 'original_image'
save_count_as = 'num_views'
class Vehicle(models.Model):
objects = VehicleManager()
stock_number = models.CharField(max_length=6, blank=False,
unique=True)
vin = models.CharField(max_length=17, blank=False)
....
images = generic.GenericRelation('Photo', blank=True, null=True)
Thank you.
