7144	FileField joins MEDIA_ROOT with FileDict	cpinto	nobody	"The _get_FIELD_filename function in Model class joins MEDIA_ROOT with the FIELD's value, which is, apparently a FileDict. If I get the filename value out of the dict, the function appears to work properly. Below is a sample error:

{{{
  File ""/home/cpinto/programs/python/django/db/models/base.py"", line 436, in _get_FIELD_filename
    return os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, getattr(self, field.attname))
  File ""/usr/lib/python2.5/posixpath.py"", line 60, in join
    if b.startswith('/'):
AttributeError: 'FileDict' object has no attribute 'startswith'
}}}

The proposed patch should fix this."		closed	Uncategorized	dev		invalid			Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
