copy file from one model to another

Question

I have 2 simple models:

class UploadImage(models.Model):
   Image = models.ImageField(upload_to=\"temp/\")

class RealImage(models.Model):
   Image = models.         


        

Answer 1

Try doing that without using a form. Without knowing the exact error that you are getting, I can only speculate that the form's clean() method is raising an error because of a mismatch in the upload_to parameter.

Which brings me to my next point, if you are trying to copy the image from 'temp/' to 'real/', you will have to do a some file handling to move the file yourself (easier if you have PIL):

import Image
from django.conf import settings

u = UploadImage.objects.get(id=image_id)
im = Image.open(settings.MEDIA_ROOT + str(u.Image))
newpath = 'real/' + str(u.Image).split('/', 1)[1]
im.save(settings.MEDIA_ROOT + newpath)
r = RealImage.objects.create(Image=newpath)

Hope that helped...
