how to put files in different dirs

[老张]

hi . Guys
i'm designing a django web site,which produce many files.
if all these files are in ONE directory。i'm afraid that performance is a problem.
even i can put many entries in  stattic-dirs in setting.py.but it seems only one entry in stattic-dirs be used
Can anyone tell me how  i  can put files in different dirs , or in different dirs with same parent dir ?
Thanks !

Hi!

I didn't understand your question. You don't need to put all your files in the same dir... you can create folders like "images", "images/products", "css", "js", etc....

Or are you asking about "media files"? I mean, files that will be uploaded through admin area...?

Best regards,

yes , what i mean is "media files".

there are so many file,may be several thousands ,to be uploaded from client to server. 

if all files in one dir , it'll be slow. 

but i don't find any way  put files in different dirs just using django.

now i write a function to put  files in different dirs ,but it complex.

is there any easy way ?

Thanks !

There is an easy way for accomplishing what you want mentioned in
djangos docs:

»For example, say your MEDIA_ROOT is set to '/home/media', and upload_to
is set to 'photos/%Y/%m/%d'. The '%Y/%m/%d' part of upload_to is
strftime() formatting; '%Y' is the four-digit year, '%m' is the
two-digit month and '%d' is the two-digit day. If you upload a file on
Jan. 15, 2007, it will be saved in the directory
/home/media/photos/2007/01/15.«

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/models/fields/#django.db.models.FileField.storage

Yeah! Or you can write your own method to upload_to. It is easy too.

I've made a simple example:

https://gist.github.com/rodrigo-zayit/604da297d9c300000e7d

This example save the pictures in:

media/images/products/1/product-slug/randomstring.ext

Where "1" is the id of the product's category.
