dynamic FilePathField question

Question

I have a model where the location of pdf directory I\'m pointing to with my FilePathField is based on the \"client\" and \"job_number\" fields.

class CCEntry         


        

Answer 1

try to set the path value as callable function

def get_path(instance, filename):
    return "site_media/jobs/%s_%s/%s" % (instance.client, instance.job_number, filename)


class CCEntry(models.Model):
    ....
    pdf = models.FilePathField(path=get_path, match=".*\.pdf$", recursive=True)

but I'm not sure if this works, I didn't test it.
