Support for other storages?

[perepicornell]

Hi!
Thanks a lot for the package, it's great.

When I tried it it was not working, and then I realized that it was storing the files at a local /svg folder instead of the storage that I have by default, which is s3boto for an s3-like provider I use.

I see your code defining this:

    storage = FileSystemStorage(
        location=settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
        base_url=settings.MEDIA_URL
    )

But to be honest I don't understand django storages well enough as for imagining the next steps to make it compatible.

So I'm sharing it here in case you or someone else can shed some light about how to approach it. Sorry I can't be more useful right now!

Hi @perepicornell

Can you test your project with this version:

pip install wagtailsvg==0.0.11

I use django storage myself with this version and like this in my settings :

STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto3.S3Boto3Storage'

It's possible that the latest version 0.0.13 is broken some things with django-storage.

Hi!
Just tried it, and now it works like a charm!

@perepicornell Nice :)

@VanL Do you have any idea why 0.0.13 doesn't work with django-storage?

I suspect the issue stems from the fact that https://github.com/Aleksi44/wagtailsvg/pull/5/files sets the storage explicitly as FileSystemStorage

I see 0.0.14 fixes the issue by reverting that change.
