I’m looking to the best way to overriding the _get_url method from ImageField, I need to customize the url since I don’t want the default returned url (I distribute this image trhough a view to manage ACL on it so the url based on the MEDIA_ROOT is wrong).

Should I have to create my own ImageField ? or is there a solution using less code ?

Thanks in advance

    The url returned be _get_url is actually generated by the used Storage class; it would probably make more sense to create your own Storage and use it when creating the ImageField!
    See: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/files/#file-storage, http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-file-storage/

    You will neet to override the Storage.url method for that!
