Newbie here sir. I manage to install django-ajax-upload to my django study project. And using it's initial view, url and template to see how it works. I successfully uploaded a file to it's default directory 'upload'.
Now, I'm trying to change the UPLOAD_DIR used by django-ajax-upload' to something like 'endorsement' folder.
About django-ajax-upload: UPLOAD_DIR is located in local.py under class LocalUploadBackend.
/ajaxuploader/backends/local.py
class LocalUploadBackend(AbstractUploadBackend):
UPLOAD_DIR = "uploads"
def setup(self, filename, *args, **kwargs):
self._path = os.path.join(
settings.MEDIA_ROOT, self.UPLOAD_DIR, filename)
try:
os.makedirs(os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(self._path)))
except:
pass
self._dest = BufferedWriter(FileIO(self._path, "w"))
The ajax action is calling the import_uploader = AjaxFileUploader()
to upload the file. Where AjaxFileUploader has this __init__
class AjaxFileUploader(object):
def __init__(self, backend=None, **kwargs):
if backend is None:
backend = LocalUploadBackend
self.get_backend = lambda: backend(**kwargs)
I'm not sure if this the right way to change the UPLOAD_DIR thru subclass. Here's my code.
from ajaxuploader.views import AjaxFileUploader
from ajaxuploader.backends.local import LocalUploadBackend
class myajaxfileuploader(AjaxFileUploader):
def __init__(self, backend=None, **kwargs):
local = LocalUploadBackend.UPLOAD_DIR
local = "endorsement"
super(myajaxfileuploader,self).__init__(backend=local, **kwargs)
I can see the file upload file button but gives me a upload failed. What is the correct way of doing this?
*this the problem for not reading the django-ajax-upload github issue section, the solution was there all along
I change my initial import_uploader = AjaxFileUploader()
to import_uploader = AjaxFileUploader(UPLOAD_DIR='endorsement')
django-ajax-upload support this arguments to change the upload_dir ..grr...
