[patch] FileUploadField should allow for clearing the field

I'm setting this to normal priority - it's needed fairly often and should definitely be possible from the admin interface.

Notes for file_del.patch.

• I guess things will have to change for this to work in magic removal branch.
• The solution provided works for me but suggestions how to improve it are welcome.
• Needs more testing.

Patch for admin app to allow deleting of files.

it is not working for me (with Images ) so I've change it to: ##

obj = get_object_or_404(mod, pk=object_id) try:

delete_f = getattr(obj, 'get_%s_filename' % attname) f=delete_f() os.remove(f) obj.image= obj.save()

##

---

of course it should be better way.

    obj = get_object_or_404(mod, pk=object_id)
    try:
        delete_f = getattr(obj, 'get_%s_filename' % attname)
        f=delete_f()
        os.remove(f)
        obj.image=''
        obj.save()

Reopening because it's not fixed.

We're proposing a solution to this issue here:

Comments please :)

The proposed solution mentioned in my previous comment has been extended and submitted as a patch. Since the patch also addresses the problem of FileField not working properly when core=True, we've started a new ticket for it here: #2534.

Closing as duplicate of #2534 (which supersedes this one).
