在我的模型中我有:
class Alias(MyBaseModel):
remote_image = models.URLField(
max_length=500, null=True,
help_text='''
A URL that is downloaded and cached for the image.
Only used when the alias is made
'''
)
image = models.ImageField(
upload_to='alias', default='alias-default.png',
help_text="An image representing the alias"
)
def save(self, *args, **kw):
if (not self.image or self.image.name == 'alias-default.png') and self.remote_image :
try :
data = utils.fetch(self.remote_image)
image = StringIO.StringIO(data)
image = Image.open(image)
buf = StringIO.StringIO()
image.save(buf, format='PNG')
self.image.save(
hashlib.md5(self.string_id).hexdigest() + ".png", ContentFile(buf.getvalue())
)
except IOError :
pass
这在remote_image第一次改变的时候工作得很好。
当有人修改了别名上的remote_image时，我如何获取一个新的图像?其次，是否有更好的方法来缓存远程映像?
现在直接回答:检查字段的值是否已经改变的一种方法是在保存实例之前从数据库获取原始数据。想想这个例子:
class MyModel(models.Model):
f1 = models.CharField(max_length=1)
def save(self, *args, **kw):
if self.pk is not None:
orig = MyModel.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
if orig.f1 != self.f1:
print 'f1 changed'
super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kw)
同样的事情也适用于处理表单。您可以在ModelForm的clean或save方法中检测到它:
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super(ProjectForm, self).clean()
#if self.has_changed(): # new instance or existing updated (form has data to save)
if self.instance.pk is not None: # new instance only
if self.instance.f1 != cleaned_data['f1']:
print 'f1 changed'
return cleaned_data
class Meta:
model = MyModel
exclude = []
另一个迟来的答案，但如果你只是想看看一个新文件是否已经上传到一个文件字段，试试这个:(改编自Christopher Adams对链接http://zmsmith.com/2010/05/django-check-if-a-field-has-changed/的评论在zach的评论这里)
更新链接:https://web.archive.org/web/20130101010327/http://zmsmith.com:80/2010/05/django-check-if-a-field-has-changed/
def save(self, *args, **kw):
from django.core.files.uploadedfile import UploadedFile
if hasattr(self.image, 'file') and isinstance(self.image.file, UploadedFile) :
# Handle FileFields as special cases, because the uploaded filename could be
# the same as the filename that's already there even though there may
# be different file contents.
# if a file was just uploaded, the storage model with be UploadedFile
# Do new file stuff here
pass
最好的方法是使用pre_save信号。在09年这个问题被提出并回答的时候，可能还没有这个选项，但今天看到这个问题的人应该这样做:
@receiver(pre_save, sender=MyModel)
def do_something_if_changed(sender, instance, **kwargs):
try:
obj = sender.objects.get(pk=instance.pk)
except sender.DoesNotExist:
pass # Object is new, so field hasn't technically changed, but you may want to do something else here.
else:
if not obj.some_field == instance.some_field: # Field has changed
# do something
