Django Multiple File Field

Question

Is there a model field that can handle multiple files or multiple images for django? Or is it better to make a ManyToManyField to a separate model containing Images or File

Answer 1

FilerFileField and FilerImageField in one model:

They are subclasses of django.db.models.ForeignKey, so the same rules apply. The only difference is, that there is no need to declare what model we are referencing (it is always filer.models.File for the FilerFileField and filer.models.Image for the FilerImageField).

Simple example models.py:

from django.db import models
from filer.fields.image import FilerImageField
from filer.fields.file import FilerFileField

class Company(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    logo = FilerImageField(null=True, blank=True)
    disclaimer = FilerFileField(null=True, blank=True)

Multiple image file fields on the same model in models.py:

Note: related_name attribute required, it is just like defining a foreign key relationship.

from django.db import models
from filer.fields.image import FilerImageField

class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    cover = FilerImageField(related_name="book_covers")
    back = FilerImageField(related_name="book_backs")
