Re: Image Model, Form and View -> Easily change "upload_to" path from form.save()?

I'm not sure if there's a better solution, but here's one I kind of
came up with after reading into the documentation and some other
Discussions. Let me know if there's a better solution out there.
Hopefully this will help someone else out as well.

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

# Provides the Path for User Images
def user_image_folder(instance = None, filename = None):
return 'uploaded/' + instance.user.username + '/images/' +
filename

class Image(models.Model):

date_created = models.DateField(auto_now_add = True)
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
# Note: upload_to is referencing the above function in the same
file.
data = models.ImageField(upload_to = user_image_folder)
