django-attachments 1.5

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.

1. 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 (this is required in Django 1.8). If you do not define a variable name, the result is printed instead.

   {% get_attachments_for entry as “attachments_list” %}

2. attachments_count [object]: Counts the attachments for the given model instance and returns an int:

   {% attachments_count entry %}

3. 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.

4. attachment_delete_link: Renders a link to the delete view for the given attachment. Example:

   {% for att in attachments_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.

v1.0 (2016-03-19):

• General code cleanup to keep compatibility with the latest Django (currently 1.8 upwards) as well as Python3. Introduced full testsuite.

• Backwards incompatible: The attachment views now use a urlpattern namespace so you need to adjust the urlpattern:

  url(r'^attachments/', include('attachments.urls', namespace='attachments')),

• Backwards incompatible: The quotes around the as variable name

  must be removed:

  {% get_attachments_for entry as "my_entry_attachments" %}
  
  becomes
  
  {% get_attachments_for entry as my_entry_attachments %}

• Possibly backwards incompatible: The old version had bugs around

  permissions and were not enforcing it in all places. From now on the related permissions add_attachment and delete_attachment must been applied to all related users.

v0.3.1 (2009-07-29):

• Added a note to the README that you should secure your static files.

v0.3 (2009-07-22):

• This version adds more granular control about user permissons. You need to explicitly add permissions to users who should been able to upload, delete or delete foreign attachments.

  This might be backwards incompatible as you did not need to assign add/delete permissions before!
