Hello everybody,
I sent this to Django users but got no replies, I also think this has
to do with some shortcommings of ImageField.
I want to create a gallery app and I have a slight problem, my
models.py code looks like this:
...
class Gallery(models.Model):
slug = models.SlugField(...)
...
class Image(models.Model):
...
gallery = models.ForeignKey(...)
image = models.ImageField(
upload_to=(lambda:'images/%s' % gallery.slug),
...,)
...
This won't work, because the ImageField constructor wants "upload_to"
to be a String and no Funtion. The Problem is, I want a dynamic image
storage path, something like MEDIA_ROOT+"images/" wont work with
hundrets of galleries, I need something like MEDIA_ROOT
+"images/"+gallery.slug . In my Image class "gallery" is a ForeignKey,
which will have the attribute "slug" at runtime, but not at model
creation time, either I am doing something stupid or there is
currently no way to solve this.
As far as I know there is currently also no (django integrated) way of
thumbnailing images, wouldn't it be nice to have this in the model? I
know it is possible to solve this via the save() method and in the
filesystem, but this is rather hacky.
