Issue with models.FilePathField in Django 1.7 Admin?

[Benjamin Scherrey]

I have a model with a FilePathField declared as follows:

ftp_path = models.FilePathField(path=settings.BASE_SFTP_DIRECTORY,

                                    max_length=250, allow_files=False,

                                    recursive=True, allow_folders=True, blank=True)

In my save command I do the following to ensure it has content:

if not self.ftp_path:

            self.ftp_path = settings.BASE_SFTP_DIRECTORY + self.slug + '/'

The intent here is to store a path name to a directory where I can import files that have been pushed up via sftp. When I view my objects in the shell they have correct data in this field and refer to existing directories.

When viewed in the Admin, however, I just see a bunch of dashes for their content with a drop down box offering no options. I cannot view or edit the FilePathField content in the Admin whatsoever. The resulting html that is generated looks like this:

<div class="form-row field-ftp_path">
	<div>
	<label for="id_ftp_path">Ftp path:</label>
	<select id="id_ftp_path" name="ftp_path">
	<option value="">---------</option>
	</select>
	</div>
	</div>

Kinda stuck about what I'm doing wrong here. Any ideas?

thanx,

try checking os.listdir(settings.BASE_SFTP_DIRECTORY) to see if python can actually see your files.

Yes that all works. My unit tests and when reviewing the resulting objects via the django shell show everything is absolutely working and the content of my FilePathField data is correct. It's only the Admin UI that is giving me fits.

thanx,
