Wierd FileField behavior
Hi, I have a simple profile model which includes the option to upload a File (FileField) and a photograph (ImageField). These two fields show somewhat undesirable behavior: (1) Let's say I create a profile and upload a photo through the admin. (2) My member view page shows my photo and other profile details. (3) Then let's say I go back to change something in my address field. The filefield correctly shows the "current file" which I uploaded in (1). I make no other changes and hit Save (4) I reload my member view page. Now the link to my photograph is broken.. (photo doesn't exist) (5) I go back into admin and find there's no photograph associated with my profile. Why does it do this? Is there no way to fix this? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to upload a file to the database and have it only store a FilePathField? Is there a workaround?

Embed HTML snippets through django
Hi,
I am creating a small website, where I would like to provide users
with a database field (through admin) where they can enter a link to
their public google calendar (This is an tag).
Obviously, if I just write it to a django template like so:
{{ user.CalendarLink }} - it just puts the verbatim text - i.e. not
the markup language. Is there a way to inject raw html into a django
template? I realize it is a bit unsafe - but this is not going to be a
public website.
Thanks!

a different kind of file path field
Hi, I'm creating a task journal using django for personal use. I'm creating an application wherein I require a CharField to store a file location on a local drive. This is different from the FileField, since I do not want to 'upload' the file to any different location on my local drive, just to record a file url. What field must I use for this? The FilePathField doesn't work for me because I want the absolute location of the file to be user selectable, not restricted to a pre-determined location. Ideally I would like a file chooser dialog. Do I need to create my own field or is there something I'm missing? Thanks! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
