Re: my file uploads missing/deleted

Did you create a processed image field in your model?

ok i did all steps but it still doesn't work .. this is my settings.py file :

PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static')

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedManifestStaticFilesStorage'

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.dropbox.DropBoxStorage'

DROPBOX_OAUTH2_TOKEN = 'hSRexFBHo-AAAAAAAAAAWVBZOhZJo6jrIP3NgMK0L_7aWHkb0mJs-z4IWO6b_EBk'

DROPBOX_ROOT_PATH = '/arenaimages/'

and this is admin.py :

from django.contrib import admin

from imagekit.admin import AdminThumbnail

from .models import MapData

# Register your models here.

from .models import League, LeagueNews, Comment, Club, Match

admin.site.register(League)

admin.site.register(LeagueNews)

admin.site.register(Comment)

class ClubAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):

fields = ['league_names', 'name', 'year_of_establishment', 'logo', 'won', 'draw', 'lost', 'total_points', 'goal_for', 'goal_against', 'goal_diff']

logo = AdminThumbnail(image_field='image')

readonly_fields = ('total_points', 'goal_diff',)

admin.site.register(Club, ClubAdmin)

admin.site.register(Match)

thanks joe

Yes. Generate an access token from your Dropbox App Console and put it in your settings.py. The token is used to authenticate your Django app with your Dropbox app.

DROPBOX_ROOT_PATH is the folder in your Dropbox App where you want to store your photos. You need to define it with this variable in settings.py.

 Typically I call it 'images' like this:  

DROPBOX_ROOT_PATH = '/images/'

but what about

DROPBOX_OAUTH2_TOKEN = your token from dropbox

did you mean Generate access token ??

DROPBOX_ROOT_PATH = your root path to store media

did you mean link to Dropbox app folder ?
thanks

Omar, 

You should not be configuring views for Dropbox. DJANGO-STORAGES does all the back end coding for you.

Follow these steps from DJANGO-STORAGES documentation after removing the code changes you made to views. I'm assuming your using pip.

1. pip install django-storages

2. pip install dropbox

3. In your settings.py set these variables

    DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.dropbox.DropBoxStorage'

    DROPBOX_OAUTH2_TOKEN = your token from dropbox

    DROPBOX_ROOT_PATH = your root path to store media

FROM THE DROPBOX DOCUMENTATION TUTORIAL YOU ONLY NEED TO REGISTER YOUR APP AND GENERATE YOUR OAUTH2 TOKEN. DISREGARD THE 'LINK YOUR ACCOUNT'. DJANGO STORAGES DOES THAT FOR YOU.

4. pip install django-imagekit and add it to your settings.py 'installed apps' -read the docs on this one

Now you need to have an imagefield in your model and config your admin.py as I explained earlier. 

I highly recommend creating an app to do this functionality. Call it something like 'logo upload'. Django best practices says an app does one thing and does it well.
