sweelol
---------------------

Simple project to copy media files (intended for fixtures loads) to the file storage, pretty much as the `django.contrib.staticfiles` app does.


Dependencies
------------

- Python 3.5+
- Django 1.8+

**Note**: The version (v1.x.x) dropped support of Python2! If you still need Python2, please check the last version of `v0.1.x series <https://github.com/pojoba02/django-media-fixtures/tree/version/0.1.x>`_


Installation
------------

.. code-block:: python

   pip install sweelol==1.2.1

Then, add the ``django_media_fixtures`` app in your ``settings.INSTALLED_APPS``:

.. code-block:: python

    INSTALLED_APPS = [
        ...,
        'django.contrib.staticfiles',
        'sweelol',
        ...
    ]


Usage
-----

The app provides a management command ``collectmedia``:

.. code-block:: python

    python manage.py collectmedia

This works similarly to ``collectstatic``: finds the ``media_fixtures`` subdirectory in the apps directories, and copies those files to the ``settings.MEDIA_ROOT``.

So, when you create your fixture (by any means, even through shell), put your file path matching the same tree folder layout as it should be in the ``MEDIA_ROOT`` destination.

For instance:

.. code-block:: python

    YourModel.objects.get_or_create(image="uploads/yourmodel/img/example.jpeg")

Where the file ``example.jpeg`` is found in ``yourappfolder/media_fixtures/uploads/yourmodel/img/example.jpeg``. The ``collectmedia`` management command will copy this file to ``uploads/yourmodel/img/example.jpeg`` inside the ``settings.MEDIA_ROOT`` directory.


Configurations
--------------

- MEDIA_FIXTURE_FOLDERNAME
    You can change the media fixtures folder's name on your apps, just putting this variable on settings.py.

    .. code-block:: python

        MEDIA_FIXTURE_FOLDERNAME='my_media_fixtures_folder'

- MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_FINDERS
    You can change the media fixtures finders, to search media files on other folders not in-app, for instance.

    .. code-block:: python

        MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_FINDERS = (
                'django_media_fixtures.finders.FileSystemFinder',      # combined with MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_DIRS, choose specific folders
                'django_media_fixtures.finders.AppDirectoriesFinder',  # default (if you do not set MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_FINDERS)
        )

- MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_DIRS
    You can list specific media folders that you want to include on search.

    .. code-block:: python

        MEDIA_FIXTURES_FILES_DIRS = [
            "/home/user/myproject/mediafiles",
            "/opt/webfiles/common/",
        ]
