If a gallery is unique to a rantal, why use a n:m relationship? You
should be able to use a 1:m if each photo is associated with exactly one
rental. As to putting the images in rental-specific sub-directories, can
you make the association from photo to rental explicit and do this?
class Photo( models.Model ):
def __init__(self):
Super(Photo, self).__init__()
self.name.fields.upload_to = self.name.fields.upload_to \
+ '/%d/' % self.id
or something along those lines.
