Saving to ProductImage

[Andrew Fam]

I"m wondering how to create a new product image directly without the admin.

Using a package that defines the following

def upload_receive( request ):
	"""
	Returns the file(s) uploaded by the user.
	"""
	return request.FILES['files[]'] if request.FILES else None

I tried to create a Product image with the following which works in non cartridge fields,

f = upload_receive(request)

instance = ProductImage.objects.create(file=f, product_id=2)

I get *** TypeError: expected string or buffer

Hi Andrew,

Can you clarify your goals for us? I'm trying to think of a use-case where one would want ProductImages editable by non-admin users. What you want is certainly possible, but might end up causing problems with the overall experience of your users.

Hey Kenneth,

Client wanted a simpler form for adding in new products outside of the backend django admin because the receiving party are not really educated.

I'm using django jfu to take files and save them to the model as per the screenshot.

Could you explain how the system works?

[Andrew Fam]

One more clarification.

I'm building a multi tenanted Sass system for companies to go online. 

I have multiple owners coming into the system to add in their own products and all. 

The django admin has too much stuff going on so needed to simplify the forms used.

Hi Andrew,

Try something like this (ripped from a shop I have written that syncs images from another database):

Hope this helps

Hey Sam,

Thanks so much. i'll give it a shot.

Best regards,

Andrew

Hey Sam you have missing imports.

Where do i get File(from)?

Also this uses a file which is on server.

How do i feed it a file which has been just uploaded.

Best regards,

Andrew

Hey Sam,

the gist doesn't work. Still getting the same error

product.images.create(file=File(f), product_id = product.id)

upload_receive(request) gives <InMemoryUploadedFile: bg.png (image/png)>

f = File(upload_receive(request).open())

returns <File: None>

ProductImage.objects.create(file=f, product_id=2) just creates a ProductImage with blank file and description

 f = File(upload_receive(request))

returns <File: bg.png>

ProductImage.objects.create(file=f, product_id=2)

returns 

*** TypeError: expected string or buffer

[Sam Kingston]

Do you have a full trace back though? Without it, it is hard to see what the exception is referring to
