Can you recommend a good django file manager for the admin?
django, django-admin
Solution
FWIW, django-adminfiles also has buried in it some fledgling functionality to use the file-browser as a select-dropdown replacement: so your model would have a ForeignKey to the "FileUpload" model, and you'd get to browse to fill that ForeignKey. Is that closer to what you're looking for?
I haven't needed or used that feature in quite some time, it's not documented or tested, and there's been a lot of rewriting since I added it, so it may or may not be in working condition. But it's on my todo list to get it back in working condition one of these days, and I certainly wouldn't object to a little motivated help ;-)
Problem
I'm looking for a robust, stable django file manager for use in the django admin. My requirements wish list: - Allows browsing and selecting files on the server (e.g. images) - Allows uploading files. Multiple file upload would be great (with, e.g. uploadify) - Does not require me to use a custom field in my model definitions (like django-filebrowser does). I want something that can ideally be attached to a CharField (or ImageField of FileField) in admin.py, like Carl Meyer's django-adminfiles. I've used django-filebrowser (non-grappelli version) and also looked at (but not used) django-adminfiles. Both are very nice. But django-filebrowser requires using a custom field in my Models, plus I don't want the 'versions' (multiple image sizes) functionality. django-adminfiles is for inserting files as inlines into textareas, so is not what I'm looking for. I'm happy to modify one of these to suit my needs, but would hate to do so if there are some other alternatives out there I'm missing.
