paths to files

[paulhide]

If you use geraldo with django under a standard Linux/Apache/Mod-
python setup what are the default paths for files in the following two
situations:
1) an image file, e.g.
from geraldo import graphics
...
elements = [graphics.Image(..., filename='somegif.gif')
...
in what directory would you have to put somegif.gif so that geraldo
would find it.

2)generating multiple reports to a single file, when you use a
construction like

some_report_instance.generate_by(PDFGenerator, filename='somepdf.pdf',
return_canvas=True)

where will somepdf.pdf be written by default.

I have got both these to work by using absolute paths and giving
suitable permissions in the second case, but I cannot use absolute
paths in the production environment.

Hi Paul, good morning :)

well.. I have the habit to put on the first lines of settings.py file
the following code:

<code>
import os
PROJECT_ROOT_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
</code>

note that the absolute path is directory where 'settings.py' is in.
So, I use it on MEDIA_ROOT:

<code>
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT_PATH, 'media')
</code>

so, I can use them everywhere I need on the code, for example on a
report image path, to upload files, etc.

:)

Hi Marinho,

Yes, that's a very good idea and really more to do with python and
django than geraldo I suppose.

Muchisimas Obrigado
