No worries, I'm just trying to make sense of all the options. : )
Nonetheless, is there any documentation on what I can get out of each
field in the save_file method, or examples of how I can access the
filename and directory where the file is being saved within this
method?
Marcin's first example works great for me when I check/create the
directory structure before the save and perform resizing after the
save, but I'm having trouble putting these actions into the overridden
method (that whole DRY thing...). Also, I tried using ideas from the
AutoImageField in Marcin's second example, but my image resizing
seemed to be getting the wrong file_path and failing silently.
For some examples, I wrote a get_upload_to method for dynamic
uploading as such:
def get_upload_to(self, field_attname):
return 'img/user/%d/%s' % (random.randint(10, 99),
self.id)
and I tried getting the filename within the save_file method as such:
file_name = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, getattr(new_object,
self.attname))
Thanks for any help!
