Django MEDIA url in storage.py

[hakim]

Hi all,

I am developing an intranet portal using django 1.3.1. I noticed in my uploader app that the default storage redirects the saved files to the apache2 directory.

I found later that the reason of this is due to Django.core.files.storage.py in line 152, 154. It still uses settings.MEDIA_URL. The same thing for 1.4.

I fixed it changing it to STATIC_URL. please fix it in the future release.

regards,

You can define a custom location for your files like the docs tell you:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/#the-built-in-filesystem-storage-class 

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-file-storage/

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/

If you believe you've encountered a bug, please create a ticket on TRAC:

http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket

More customization can be achieved by specifying a custom file upload handler:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/file-uploads/#upload-handlers 

Cheers,

The usage of MEDIA_ROOT is by design.

According to the release notes from 1.3 [1], the intention is to have
uploaded files in MEDIA_ROOT and assets/static files in STATIC_ROOT.

Nothing stops you from doing:

MEDIA_ROOT = STATIC_ROOT
MEDIA_URL = STATIC_URL
