What are the urls of the file?

[I H.]

Hello,

I would like to work with this application differently and I wonder if it would be possible. I would like to upload directly my files into the media folder.

Then, I want to provide a link on my webpage. Is that possible to do that with django-filer?

Thanks

Hi, 

You can achieve that by manually creating Filer instances for you files upload in your media folder. Just iterate over those files and run something like this:

file_url = '' #PATH TO YOUR FILE
folder_name = 'the_folder_name'
name_of_file = 'whatever_u_want_to_call_the_file'
description_of_file = 'Description'


file_instance = File(open(file_url))
folder, created = Folder.objects.get_or_create(name=folder_name)


name = u'{}'.format(name_of_file)


filer_instance, filer_instance_created = FilerImage.objects.get_or_create(
    name=name,
    folder=folder,
    description=description,
)
filer_instance.file = file_instance
filer_instance.save()
file_instance.close()
