There is a difference between model fields (which are in the django.db.models.* namespace) and form fields (in the django.forms.* namespace). The models.FileField class takes an upload_to parameter. The forms.FileField class does not. This is because form fields only validate that the input is correct and turn it into an appropriate Python object. They are not concerned with how to save things. Model fields, on the other hand are all about persistent storage (i.e. saving). > > > > thx, > > djangomax > > > > upload_to should be a global function: This isn't correct (for model fields; as noted above, for form fields, upload_to doesn't make sense). A callable is a possible value to pass in (and it doesn't have a be a global function -- any callable will do), but a string is legal, too.
