Question

I have heard it might not be made for this, but I’d really like to have it just take the file’s name for the slug and title.

class RandomAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    prepopulated_fields = {
        'slug': ('image',),
        'title': ('image',)
    }

where ‘image’ is an ImageField…

image = models.ImageField(upload_to="random_uploads")

If the files name is ‘abc_123.jpg’, I get ‘cfakepathabc_123jpg’. I’d like to get ‘abc_123jpg’ or ‘abc_123’.

Any tips for me? 🙂

Answer 1

Cannot be done trivially, without modifying prepopulated_fields_js.html, since it just looks for the value of the dependent fields.

In otherwords, you can’t just do it by changing something in the ModelAdmin. You’d have to override prepopulated_fields_js.html and make some specific exceptions.
