I've revised my code but files are still getting uploaded to the
'listings' directory.
class Listing(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
zipfile = models.FileField(upload_to='listings')
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
order = models.ForeignKey('Order')
def overwrite_upload_to(self):
user_dir_path = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, 'listings',
self.user.username)
self.zipfile.url=user_dir_path
def save(self, force_insert=False, force_update=False):
Listing.overwrite_upload_to(self)
super(Listing, self).save(force_insert, force_update) # Call
the "real" save() method.
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
