I am trying to figure out how to create a model field that doesn't pull from the database but instead pulls from the file system, shows it in the forms as a Textarea, then just saves it back to file system when the model is saved.
In my mind it seems pretty simple. I have read the custom models page in the documentation but keep running around in circles. I can think of two ways to do it. Write a custom object that handles it or somehow extend the FileField. It seems that the FileField option would be the better of the two options. I can get the form to show a textarea but have no idea what I need to override to get the value of the textarea to be populated with the contents of a file and then have that pulled from the form to be put back into a file. Any ideas? Has this already been written somewhere? I'm just getting started with python and django so if there are resources that I missed please let me know.
