Took me a bit to get .FileField() working in the admin, and im wondering if it
needs to be as complicated as it seems. I think it currently violates DRY, and
maybe that was intentional for 'security' or 'performance' reasons, or maybe it
was just an oversight.
I did the following, and got the following.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/django$ django-admin.py startproject filez
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/django/filez$ ./manage.py startapp pics
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql'
db, user, pass ...
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'filez.pics',
# models.py
from django.db import models
class File(models.Model):
attachment = models.FileField(upload_to='attaches', blank=True )
class Admin:
pass
# urls.py
# Uncomment this for admin:
(r'^admin/', include('django.contrib.admin.urls')),
http://dell29:8000/admin/pics/file/add/
Give it a file name (text box or browse button) hit Save.
(it will create the attaches dir. not sure if that is a good thing or not.
personally I would rather it error, but at least it makes it obvious where the
dir 'is'.)
http://dell29:8000/admin/pics/file/1/
source: <a href="attaches/P1010001.JPG"> attaches/P1010001.JPG </a><br>
which is:
http://localhost:8000/admin/pics/file/1/attaches/P1010001.JPG
click that, get
404, Using the URLconf defined in filez.urls, Django tried these URL patterns,
in this order: ... The current URL, admin/pics/file/1/attaches/P1010001.JPG,
didn't match any of these.
As in, it can't find where it put it. Seems to me the default should be to be
able to figure that out. With some help from #django I did get it working, but
it didn't seem 'right.' so I figured I would throw up a flag and see if anyone
thinks some tweaks need to happen, or point to the docs that show me how to do
this the easy way.
