Django - Passing arguments to models through ForeignKey attributes
- by marshall
I've got a class like this:
class Image (models.Model):
...
sizes = ((90,90), (300,250))
def resize_image(self):
for size in sizes:
...
and another class like this:
class SomeClassWithAnImage (models.Model):
...
an_image = models.ForeignKey(Image)
what i'd like to do with that class is this:
class SomeClassWithAnImage (models.Model):
...
an_image = models.ForeignKey(Image, sizes=((90,90), (150, 120)))
where i'm can specify the sizes that i want the Image class to use to resize itself as a argument rather than being hard coded on the class. I realise I could pass these in when calling resize_image if that was called directly but the idea is that the resize_image method is called automatically when the object is persisted to the db.
if I try to pass arguments through the foreign key declaration like this i get an error straight away. is there an easy / better way to do this before I begin hacking down into django?
