- Use or create a model for storing images and/or files. For simplicity here we will use the models in
file_picker.uploads
: Image and File. - Use or create another model to contain the text field(s) to be inserted by the picker. Here we will use the Post model from
sample_project.article
. It has two text fields, Body and Teaser. To use the pickers on both the teaser and body fields use a formfield_override to override the widget with the
file_picker.widgets.SimpleFilePickerWidget
:import file_picker from django.contrib import admin from sample_project.article import models as article_models class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): formfield_overrides = { models.TextField: { 'widget': file_picker.widgets.SimpleFilePickerWidget(pickers={ 'image': "images", # a picker named "images" from file_picker.uploads 'file': "files", # a picker named "files" from file_picker.uploads }), }, } class Media: js = ("http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.2.5/full/jquery.tools.min.js",) admin.site.register(article_models.Post, PostAdmin)
To use the simple file picker widget, override the desired form field's widget. It takes a dictionary with expected keys "image" and/or "file" which define which link to use, i.e. "Add Image" and/or "Add File".
