Hi
I have some django models that use a FileField, and users have been uploading files in the admin interface. We now have a problem that some files are quite big (1-3G), which makes http upload tricky.
There is a "container" class, and then "file" classes with a FK to the container. I have used inlines in the admin gui to make this easier for the users (container class form, with file class inlines)
I have found FilePathField, which I guess will be useful to let users scp / rsync files over to the server and then browse for and add details to them, but how can I get this in the admin? Do I need to just build a new form / view that creates the objects? Is there any way to somehow override the model in a custom admin form (and thus keep all the free admin goodness), that replaces filefield with filepathfield? Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any suggestions!
