Model overriding predefined model methods.

[Petey]

I'am writing a thumbnail generator for my Images model

Everything is working fine apart from saving path to the database.

Could you give me some hints on model overriding?

Petey,

Could you give me some hints on model overriding?

Do you mean you want to override the default save method to put in some processing first?  This is covered here

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/models/#overriding-predefined-model-methods

If you are wanting to generate a legal URL slug, you can use the slugify method like this...

from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify

Class MyImageModel(models.Model):



    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
            self.slug_field = slugify(self.some_unique_image_reference_field)

and then call the super save method as defined in the URL above.
