    <p>Mongoengine stores FileField and ImageField to GridFS. What's the easiest approach to replicate the functionality of the original File/Image Field?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>So this is the class I have in place at the moment. I'm able to load files and save them to disk, Mongo holds the path to the file in database.</p> <p>I'm falling over on "to_python" as I believe it needs to create an object of the proxy_class but I can't see how, if all I'm getting is a path to the file (as the value passed in).</p> <pre><code>import os import datetime from mongoengine.python_support import str_types from django.db.models.fields.files import FieldFile from django.core.files.base import File from django.core.files.storage import default_storage from mongoengine.base import BaseField from mongoengine.connection import get_db, DEFAULT_CONNECTION_NAME from django.utils.encoding import force_text #from django.utils.encoding import force_str class DJFileField(BaseField): proxy_class = FieldFile def __init__(self, db_alias=DEFAULT_CONNECTION_NAME, name=None, upload_to='', storage=None, **kwargs): self.db_alias = db_alias self.storage = storage or default_storage self.upload_to = upload_to if callable(upload_to): self.generate_filename = upload_to super(DJFileField, self).__init__(**kwargs) def __get__(self, instance, owner): # Lots of information on whats going on here can be found # on Django's FieldFile implementation, go over to GitHub to # read it. file = instance._data.get(self.name) if isinstance(file, str_types) or file is None: attr = self.proxy_class(instance, self, file) instance._data[self.name] = attr elif isinstance(file, File) and not isinstance(file, FieldFile): file_copy = self.proxy_class(instance, self, file.name) file_copy.file = file file_copy._committed = False instance._data[self.name] = file_copy elif isinstance(file, FieldFile) and not hasattr(file, 'field'): file.instance = instance file.field = self file.storage = self.storage # That was fun, wasn't it? return instance._data[self.name] def __set__(self, instance, value): instance._data[self.name] = value # The 3 methods below get used by the FieldFile proxy_object def get_directory_name(self): return os.path.normpath(force_text(datetime.datetime.now().strftime(self.upload_to))) def get_filename(self, filename): return os.path.normpath(self.storage.get_valid_name(os.path.basename(filename))) def generate_filename(self, instance, filename): return os.path.join(self.get_directory_name(), self.get_filename(filename)) def to_mongo(self, value): # Store the path in MongoDB # I also used this bit to actually save the file to disk. # The value I'm getting here is a FileFiled and it all looks # pretty good at this stage even though I'm not 100% sure # of what's going on. import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace() if not value._committed and value is not None: value.save(value.name, value) return value.path return value.path def to_python(self, value): # Now this is the real problem, value is the path that got saved # in mongo.

    1. COIs this a real question? Can you expand on what you would like the field to do?

    2. CORoss def a real question. What I mean is: what would you advise I did, if I wanted to have a new Field, which basically acted the same way as the original FileField in Django. Using a storage object and mongo only for the path information etc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
