Can this command be useful?

It sometimes happens, that I have orphaned files in my folder filer_public, which do not have any associated meta data. With ./manage.py orphaned_files we can list them, and with ./manage.py orphaned_files --delete we can delete them.

With this pull request, when a dev define an Image's foeignKey, he can configure :

• available mimetypes via the FileMimetypeValidator : takes a list of allowed mime subtypes (e.g: image/jpeg) and/or mimetypes (e.g: image/*)
• choose which upload method is available when the widget will be displayed (by default : old method is activated (file lookup). the second one is "direct upload" : a simple "browse" button : when we choose a file, ajax upload is performed. Both methods can be enabled together : choose a file from the website ou on the PC)
• default folder where the file will be uploaded : when direct upload is enabled and the user upload a file, the new file will be linked to the configured folder. It's done by sending a folder "key" which must be a class method of a DefaultFolderGetter child. This method takes the request and must return a folder.

Tests for "dynamic" folder destination and mimetype detections have been added. If you think this pull request is usefull and mergeable, I'll add:

• documentation
• tests for third party models with File/Image foreign keys.
• direct_upload will also send a "related_field" data of this format : "model_name.field_name" (e.g: 'News.illustration'). direct_upload's view will be able to retrieve validators associated to this field and reject files during the ajax upload and not only when the object (the news) is saved.

Simple usage exemple:

#my_news_app/models.py
# [...] imports and other required things...

class News(NewsboxBase):
    illustration = FilerImageField(
        verbose_name=_('illustration'), 
        default_direct_upload_enabled=True, 
        #add a "browse" button with ajax upload
        default_file_lookup_enabled=False, 
        #remove the file lookup link. The user will only have a browse button to add new files
        direct_upload_folder_key='USER_OWN_FOLDER', 
        #file will be uploaded in a specifc folder owned by the authenticated user
        validators=[FileMimetypeValidator(['image/png', 'image/jpeg'])], 
        #only jpeg and PNG are allowed
        null=True, blank=True)

#my_news_app/utils.py
from filer.utils.folders import DefaultFolderGetter

class MyCustomFolderGetter(DefaultFolderGetter)
    @classmethod
    def USER_OWN_FOLDER(cls, request):
        if not request.user.is_authenticated():
            return None
        folder = Folder.objects.filter(owner=request.user, parent_id=USERS_FOLDER_PK)[0:1]
        if not folder:
            folder = Folder()
            folder.name = request.user.username
            folder.parent_id = USERS_FOLDER_PK
            folder.owner = request.user
            folder.save()
        else:
            folder = folder[0]
        return folder

#project/settings.py

You might want to update the dependencies.

Update

If you update the package, Django-filer generates the thumbnails but does not show it on the admin page.

Hi, I'm facing a jQuery hell with mezzanine + autocomplete-light.

The constatations :

• I'm in a mezzanine admin change view, which has
  • an autocomplete field
  • a filer (image) field
• The mezzanine left menu shows quickly, then it hides imself : is created, but I'm not able to view it.
• The autocomplete field doen't not work : the actual value is shown, but I can't change it.
• The filer works perfectly... but I'm pretty sure it has taken the jquery namespace for himself...

TypeError: $ is undefined

If I load a jQ before the autocomplete_light/static.html I have another error : TypeError: $(...).yourlabsWidget is not a function

I've tracked the jQ versions used, and autocomplete is loaded in a version on jQ, but launched (through $(document).ready()) through the filer version of jQ, the one from filer. I've tried to noConflict the jQ before autocomplete loadings, but for none..

Could you help me with this issue ? Thanks for your help !

How can I

hint at docs on djangoproject about serving MEDIA_ROOT (http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-filer/en/latest/installation.html#permissions-on-files)

Original Issue reported by @webmaven: /media/ URLs don't work for local development

I'm not sure exactly what to do about this, but if there is a solution to getting /media/ URLs to work correctly when running locally (ie. with ./manage.py runserver), documenting it would be a very good idea.

I need to have translations for File.name, File.description and for BaseImage.default_alt_text/default_caption. I am using django-parler, which plays nice with django-polymorphic and such and is very clean and interoperable (as opposed to django-hvad for example). My initial approach was to create a translated File model and custom image model with mentioned fields as translated fields. The problem is that django-parler is unable to redefine existing fields (due to django model metaclass limitations), so the only way is to create those fields with different names. But in that case I would have a very messy solution and I would have to fix various filer views, etc. This is the code:

from filer.models import File
from parler.models import TranslatableModel, TranslatedFields
class TransFile(File, TranslatableModel):
    translations = TranslatedFields(
        name = models.CharField(max_length=255, default='', blank=True, verbose_name=_('name')),
        description = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True, verbose_name=_('description'))
    )

So my question is: would you consider making filer models translatable by default and pulling django-parler in as a dependency? I will do this anyway, but I don't want my solution to be fork-only. Any suggestions?

After following the installation instructions on django-filer docs website, I started the development server on my local machine and tested out if everything works. However when I open django admin site and click on filer folders, I can see that the form is not rendering correctly. The whole #content div is aligned to the right site, and the .breadcrumbs-container-inner is a mess. I am using Django 1.9.8 and Django-filer 1.2.4. I attach screen shots of what I get.(Full-window size, and small size window). Is that a bug of django-filer? Can anyone reproduce the problem, or have had similar problems in the past? How can I fix this?

Custom Image models are still problematic mostly because of issues with migrations. This is because Image model swappability implementation in filer is sort of broken by design :) I propose switching to a standard Django way for model swapping - Meta.swappable option.

The branch in it's current form is already working but I'm marking is as a Work in progress because there are some problems:

• FILER_IMAGE_MODEL setting now uses django content type instead of full python path to model. This breaks compatibility, however it's very easy to fix.
• FILER_FILE_MODELS setting default is currently broken for the same reason. I think it would be a good idea to switch FILER_FILE_MODELS setting to content type syntax as well but this is not for me to decide.

Testing filer 2.1.2 out specifically for svg support in djangoCMS 3.9.0 - out of the box I'm not seeing thumbnails for the svg files, which is incredibly helpful in admin "folders" ->folder contents list view. Easy Thumbnails talks about setting a THUMBNAIL_ALIASES var in settings, but it also looks like it works with a template tag - so that would have to be baked into filer beforehand. Am I missing something for out of the box thumbnails for svg files? All migrations ran, etc.

Wanted to gauge interest in adding duplicate file detection.

If enabled (an opt-in setting e.g. settings.FILER_PREVENT_DUPLICATES), when a user uploads a file (whether drag and drop, CMS filer plugin, or regular upload in the admin) it would detect if that file already exists and instead of saving the file, would redirect the user to the existing copy of the file.

This would only catch duplicate files uploaded after this feature was enabled, so a bonus feature would be to expose functionality to 'find duplicates', no additional functionality. 'Merging' duplicates could be complicated depending on how the site uses files so should likely be a manual process.

How does this help? In my case we have many files which we want to show up in site search results. It's easy enough to do a distinct filter on the sha1 when indexing the content to prevent duplicates from appearing in search, but it's not predictable which file the user should edit the title/description to change the search result text. We'd like to prevent duplicate uploads altogether for this project. An upside is savings on storage space.

If there's interest in this, I'll move forward with a pull request. I would like to have this feature in a project I'm working on but wanted to get feedback on suitability for this project first. If the flow described above is not suitable, are there other acceptable ways to expose the duplicate detection functionality available on FileManager to end users?

Thanks!

I've run into a problem where the filer admin files and folders are no longer visible. I traced it back to a change from version 0.9.5 to 0.9.6.

This is how the admin looks in 0.9.5: (edited image to remove user data)

This is how the admin looks in 0.9.6: Note that in the second image the folders are no longer showing visible, but it does however state that there are 4 folders in the view.

I've encountered the issue on two different machines and disabling django-suit didn't seem to solve te problem. A set of the installed packages for the none working setup:

Django==1.5.9 django-filer==0.9.6 django-suit==0.2.9 django-autocomplete-light==1.4.14 South django-compressor (only used for css in admin)

The autocomplete light javascript throws an error "Uncaught TypeError: undefined is not a function widget.js:343". But it does so in both the working and broken version. I think this is unrelated and is caused by loading jquery in the wrong order (jquery, autocomplete.js, jquery, filer.js).

Using an older version is a good enough fix at the moment for us, but I hope this helps somebody else.

What is the best way to move all folders and files from mysql to postgresql? I've tried to do it on many different ways but the result is always the same when I try to enter Filer app on admin:

Exception Type: PolymorphicTypeInvalid at /hal/homepage Exception Value: ContentType 37

How can I correctly connect all my images in my newly created database?

I'm having a problem viewing uploaded images. The images can be uploaded without any problems and will also be saved in the specified folder. After that it will be shown as follows: When I then click on expand I get the following error: I installed django-filer according to the documentation. But apparently it doesn't work.

How can I solve this problem?
