i am trying to accomplish the following on image/file fields in a model in my app:
1. allow a filefield (managed through admin) to save its content to my remote CDN (cachefly). 2. upon saving the file to my remote CDN, i want django to simply overwrite any already existing file in the remote location and not append the file name with "_" like the current django behavior on image/file fields. 3. in the case of image files, i'd like to use a dynamic thumbnail library to also save the generated thumbnail images (ala sorl.thumbnail) directly to my CDN. here's where i'm at so far and where i'm stumbling at this point. i've integrated david larlet's awesome django-storages backend (http:// code.welldev.org/django-storages/overview/) and my app is currently saving (via FTP) images and files from model fields onto my remote cachefly account. item #1 solved, on to item #2. i'd like to integrate django-storage's OverwriteStorage function into FTPStorage, but - being a python newbie - i'm struggling with where to begin. simply setting my model field like: image = models.FileField(upload_to="secure/low_res", storage=fs, OverwriteStorage()) obviously won't work. using OverwriteStorage on its own on a model field does the trick on my local server, but how do i go about extracting the OverwriteStorage function and integrating it into FTPStorage? put it in the _save, _put_file, or even _exists function? item #3: are there any image thumbnail libraries out there that allow you the flexibility to use template tags for the thumbnails AND also allow for the generated thumbnails to be saved to a remote file storage? lots of questions here, but i've got to think i'm not the only person out there wishing for this functionality. perhaps some of you have already integrated/solved this challenge or part of it in one way or another. any help, assistance, guidance at all would be greatly appreciated! thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
