Hi all - I have a site that allows users to upload files. I would like to store the files to settings.MEDIA_ROOT + os.sep + logged_in_user + os.sep + filename (that is, the files uploaded by a given user will be uploaded to a subdirectory of settings.MEDIA_ROOT specific to that user).
I can't set "upload_to" in the model to the correct location, because no logged-in user exists at that point. I am currently doing the saving manually in the view, pretty much totally ignoring the "upload_to", which seems wrong, and must be wrong because when I attempt to delete the file object I trigger a SuspiciousOperation exception - presumably because Django has no idea that I've been doing sneaky things behind the scenes. So my question is more or less twofold: (1) what is the best way to upload files to a path determined dynamically, possible from a logged in user's ID or something from a form? and (2) is the solution a custom storage class? If so, how would that be accomplished? When is the custom storage class instantiated? The docs aren't totally clear on the minutiae of how that works. Thanks for any help! - Tim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
