Django side write DB for `cat` example about django-s3direct HOT 4 CLOSED

Sorry I somehow missed this message.

S3DIRECT_UNIQUE_RENAME was an old option which was removed at some point. It no longer does anything.

If you want to have unique names you can define a method in settings like this. You then add that method as the first argument of the destination

Yes, you would need to define the saving part yourself unless you are using the Django admin.

Yes, I got that now - I checked everything and nothing changed - so, I guessed it does nothing.

Actually, I have done this. Then what I did was went to s3direct/views.py and just added print filename like so:

@require_POST
def get_upload_params(request):
content_type = request.POST['type']
filename = request.POST['name']
print filename
< write to cat_cat DB model here..thats easy>

However, what I see is the original filename always - Is there a way I can get both the original filename and the unique filename (created with uuid as you have shown in def create_filename.)? That would be nice because at the moment all I can seem to get is the original filename within django - and not the unique uuid filename (useful to mapping what is on the S3 server).

p.s: I think there is also a minor cross browser bug in the cat example. So, on firefox, if you upload the file and then refresh(F5) the page, I can still see the REMOVE FILE tag. On Chrome it is fine.

So.. is this a real issue? Is is not possible to get both the original filename and unique filename on the django side?

S3Direct doesn't doesn't really deal with any kind of database storage. All it does is upload something to S3 and return that url to the form field you specify.

So in the example:
https://gist.github.com/bradleyg/65852e7d69adacb43574#file-gistfile1-html-L18

It uploads the file and adds the uploaded files URL to the input field with the class name "file-url". You need to decide what's the best way to save that to your database.

Notice there is no action or submit button on the form, that's up to you to implement.
