I'm following up on my own message. The following approach works:
*******************************************************
customstorage.py
*******************************************************
import os
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
from django.utils._os import safe_join
from django.conf import settings
class FileUploadStorage(FileSystemStorage):
def path(self, name):
print "calling FileUploadStorage class."
try:
path = safe_join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, name)
except ValueError:
raise SuspiciousOperation("Attempted access to '%s' denied." % name)
return os.path.normpath(path)
*******************************************************
Then in settings.py use
DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = "customstorage.FileUploadStorage"
Basically, overwrite the path in FileSystemStorage so it no longer
uses self.location, but instead looks up settings.MEDIA_ROOT when path
is called.
This is just a hack. I think it would be reasonable to make location
in FileSystemStorage a callable in similar fashion to the upload_to
argument in FileField. If I understand correctly, that would be make
this hack redundant. Comments appreciated - please cc me.
Faheem.
