45 45 How do I use image and file fields? 46 46 ----------------------------------- 47 47 48 Using a ``FileField`` or an ``ImageField`` in a model takes a few steps: 48 Using a :class:`~django.db.models.FileField` or an 49 :class:`~django.db.models.ImageField` in a model takes a few steps: 49 50 50 #. In your settings file, define ``MEDIA_ROOT`` as the full path to51 a directory where you'd like Django to store uploaded files. (For52 performance, these files are not stored in the database.) Define53 ``MEDIA_URL`` as the base public URL of that directory. Make sure that54 th is directory is writable by the Web server's user account.51 #. In your settings file, you'll need to define :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` as the 52 full path to a directory where you'd like Django to store uploaded files. 53 (For performance, these files are not stored in the database.) Define 54 :setting:`MEDIA_URL` as the base public URL of that directory. Make sure 55 that this directory is writable by the Web server's user account. 55 56 56 #. Add the ``FileField`` or ``ImageField`` to your model, making sure 57 to define the ``upload_to`` option to tell Django to which subdirectory 58 of ``MEDIA_ROOT`` it should upload files. 57 #. Add the :class:`~django.db.models.FileField` or 58 :class:`~django.db.models.ImageField` to your model, making sure to 59 define the :attr:`~django.db.models.FileField.upload_to` option to tell 60 Django to which subdirectory of :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT` it should upload 61 files. 59 62 60 #. All that will be stored in your database is a path to the file 61 (relative to ``MEDIA_ROOT``). You'll most likely want to use the62 convenience ``get_<fieldname>_url`` function provided by Django. For63 example, if your ``ImageField`` is called ``mug_shot``, you can get the64 absolute URL to your image in a template with65 ``{{ object.get_mug_shot_url }}``.63 #. All that will be stored in your database is a path to the file 64 (relative to :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`). You'll most likely want to use the 65 convenience :attr:`~django.core.files.File.url` attribute provided by 66 Django. For example, if your :class:`~django.db.models.ImageField` is 67 called ``mug_shot``, you can get the absolute URL to your image in a 68 template with ``{{ object.mug_shot.url }}``. -

12 12 13 13 Django's ``File`` has the following attributes and methods: 14 14 15 ``File.path`` 16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 15 .. attribute:: File.name 17 16 17 The name of file including the relative path from :setting:`MEDIA_ROOT`. 18 19 .. attribute:: File.path 20 18 21 The absolute path to the file's location on a local filesystem. 19 22 20 23 :ref:`Custom file storage systems <howto-custom-file-storage>` may not store 21 24 files locally; files stored on these systems will have a ``path`` of ``None``. 22 25 23 ``File.url`` 24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 26 .. attribute:: File.url 25 27 26 28 The URL where the file can be retrieved. This is often useful in :ref:`templates 27 29 <topics-templates>`; for example, a bit of a template for displaying a ``Car`` … … 29 31 30 32 <img src='{{ car.photo.url }}' alt='{{ car.name }}' /> 31 33 32 ``File.size`` 33 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 34 .. attribute:: File.size 34 35 35 36 The size of the file in bytes. 36 37 37 ``File.open(mode=None)`` 38 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 38 .. method:: File.open(mode=None) 39 39 40 40 Open or reopen the file (which by definition also does ``File.seek(0)``). The 41 41 ``mode`` argument allows the same values as Python's standard ``open()``. … … 43 43 When reopening a file, ``mode`` will override whatever mode the file was 44 44 originally opened with; ``None`` means to reopen with the original mode. 45 45 46 ``File.read(num_bytes=None)`` 47 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 46 .. method:: File.read(num_bytes=None) 48 47 49 48 Read content from the file. The optional ``size`` is the number of bytes to 50 49 read; if not specified, the file will be read to the end. 51 50 52 ``File.__iter__()`` 53 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 51 .. method:: File.__iter__() 54 52 55 53 Iterate over the file yielding one line at a time. 56 54 57 ``File.chunks(chunk_size=None)`` 58 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 55 .. method:: File.chunks(chunk_size=None) 59 56 60 57 Iterate over the file yielding "chunks" of a given size. ``chunk_size`` defaults 61 58 to 64 KB. … … 63 60 This is especially useful with very large files since it allows them to be 64 61 streamed off disk and avoids storing the whole file in memory. 65 62 66 ``File.multiple_chunks(chunk_size=None)`` 67 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 63 .. method:: File.multiple_chunks(chunk_size=None) 68 64 69 65 Returns ``True`` if the file is large enough to require multiple chunks to 70 66 access all of its content give some ``chunk_size``. 71 67 72 ``File.write(content)`` 73 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 68 .. method:: File.write(content) 74 69 75 70 Writes the specified content string to the file. Depending on the storage system 76 71 behind the scenes, this content might not be fully committed until ``close()`` 77 72 is called on the file. 78 73 79 ``File.close()`` 80 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 74 .. method:: File.close() 81 75 82 76 Close the file. 83 77 84 78 Additional ``ImageField`` attributes 85 79 ------------------------------------ 86 80 87 ``File.width`` and ``File.height`` 88 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 81 .. attribute:: File.width 82 .. attribute:: File.height 89 83 90 84 These attributes provide the dimensions of the image. 91 85 92 86 Additional methods on files attached to objects 93 87 ----------------------------------------------- 94 88 95 Any ``File`` that's associated with an object (as with ``Car.photo``, above)89 Any :class:`File` that's associated with an object (as with ``Car.photo``, above) 96 90 will also have a couple of extra methods: 97 91 98 ``File.save(name, content, save=True)`` 99 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 92 .. method:: File.save(name, content, save=True) 100 93 101 94 Saves a new file with the file name and contents provided. This will not replace 102 95 the existing file, but will create a new file and update the object to point to … … 110 103 111 104 >>> car.photo.save('myphoto.jpg', contents, save=True) 112 105 113 ``File.delete(save=True)`` 114 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 106 .. method:: File.delete(save=True) 115 107 116 108 Remove the file from the model instance and delete the underlying file. The 117 109 ``save`` argument works as above. -
