Hi. All that you say is totally clear to me, but I tried to suit the
customer's needs. And, yes, I finished my deals on just saving the
images serverside and sending links to files over e-mail. Thanks for
that.
Another question that bothers me is the following.
-------------------------------------------------------------
for (k, v) in request.FILES.items():
file_data = open('%s/%s' % (dir, filename), 'wb')
file_data.write(v.read())
file_data.close()
-------------------------------------------------------------
That's not all the loop but that's enough to understand that I write
uploaded files to another location to give a link in e-mail.
I'm not really sure if it's correct - the files after upload are saved
to temp directory or RAM, but I actually read them again "v.read()" to
save to another loaction. Is that ok? Is there other way to save
uploaded files without reading them again?
Thanks.
