Hi all,
So, I am back once more. I am having headaches with a simple file upload in
the Django admin.
I have a simple model as follows (partial):
class PhotoTest(models.Model):
test_name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='testphotos', blank=True)
thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='thumbnails', blank=True)
I wish to find out how to override the save() method of this model so that,
when a user selects a photo, I can read that image out of wherever it is in
memory. I would like to thumbnail it with PIL,
assign it to the thumbnail field of the PhotoTest instance and finally, save
it.
My problem is that I can not figure out where to read the original image
from. Trying to read it from self.photo.path in the model's save() method
does not work (object does not have path property).
Perhaps what I should be asking is, which attribute or method of the
ImageField property allows me to access the selected file as a PIL File
object?
Please help?
