Hi I'm having a problem with configuring Flatpages in Satchmo. I've used them before, in a pure django app, but now it just doesn't work, returning 301 http error when I'm trying to enter a flatpage-configured site. What I've done to configure it: added the middleware "django.contrib.flatpages.middleware.FlatpageFallbackMiddleware" t...

The user uploads a file and I convert that file to a new format. How do I insert the created file into the DB? When I do the obvious field.file = newfile, it tries to upload it.

Is it better to use the file uploads...
