Hi all, I spent the last 2 hours fighting with a model.FileField that I wanted to save the file with a custom name (job number of a hylafax server). I found a related thread here: http://groups.google.com/group/django- users/browse_frm/thread/f337faf5ef5d8f9a/3c183363b21b496d? lnk=gst&q=file+upload+form&rnum=7&hl=en#3c183363b21b496d so I tried to define a save as suggested:
def save(self): oldname = self.file_field # rename & move file to new name if needed self.file_field = newname super(Fax, self).save() this does not work for me. It seems save method is called twice by the generic view create_update within the call 'manipulator.save(new_data)'. The fist time self.file is empty the second already has the automatically generated filename. Why is it called twice? Now I call os.rename but wich should be the correct way to do it? Thanks in advance sandro *;-) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
