A generic Django application to attach Files (Attachments) to any model
Project description
django-attachments is a generic set of template tags to attach any kind of files to models.
Installation:
Put attachments to your INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py within your django project.
Add (r'^attachments/', include('attachments.urls')), to your urls.py.
Add 'django.core.context_processors.request' to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS in your settings.py. If this setting does not exist, simply add the following snippet at the end of your settings.py:
TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = ( 'django.core.context_processors.auth', 'django.core.context_processors.i18n', 'django.core.context_processors.media', 'django.core.context_processors.request', )
This app provides a additional permission delete_foreign_attachments which enables that users with it can delete foreign attachments. Normally only the user who uploaded the attachment can delete it.
Usage:
In contrib.admin:
django-attachments provides a inline object to add a list of attachments to any kind of model in your admin app.
Simply add AttachmentInlines to the admin options of your model. Example:
from django.contrib import admin
from attachments.admin import AttachmentInlines
class MyEntryOptions(admin.ModelAdmin)
inlines = [AttachmentInlines]
In your frontend templates:
First of all, load the attachments_tags in every template you want to use it:
{% load attachments_tags %}
django-attachments comes with some templatetags to add or delete attachments for your model objects in your frontend.
get_attachments_for [object]: Fetches the attachments for the given model instance. You can optionally define a variable name in which the attachment list is stored in the template context. The default context variable name is attachments Example:
{% get_attachments_for entry as "attachments_list" %}attachment_form: Renders a upload form to add attachments for the given model instance. Example:
{% attachment_form [object] %}It returns an empty string if the current user is not logged in.
attachment_delete_link: Renders a link to the delete view for the given attachment. Example:
{% for att in attachment_list %} {{ att }} {% attachment_delete_link att %} {% endfor %}This tag automatically checks for permission. It returns only a html link if the give n attachment’s creator is the current logged in user or the user has the delete_foreign_attachments permission.
Quick Example:
{% load attachments_tags %}
{% get_attachments_for entry as "my_entry_attachments" %}
{% if my_entry_attachments %}
<ul>
{% for attachment in my_entry_attachments %}
<li>
<a href="{{ attachment.attachment_file.url }}">{{ attachment.filename }}</a>
{% attachment_delete_link attachment %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% endif %}
{% attachment_form entry %}
