Determine which ones are from /media/ and which ones are from S3 URL

anjanesh

image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/product/', blank=True)

<img src="{{ product.image.url }}" alt="{{ product.name }}" />

What if I store some of the images manually in Amazon S3 or DO Spaces and store the URL of the S3 bucket URL to some of the product rows directly in the database using phpMyAdmin or Admirer ?

Is there a way to determine which one is S3 and which one is from Opalstack's /media/ folder in views.py or template ?

anjanesh maybe I'm missing some subtlety of this, but it seems to me that if product.image.url is a bucket URL then that's the all the info you need.

The non-mandatory image field is populated as images/product/toy-car.jpg in the database.
So {{ product.image.url }} would automatically be https://my-website.com/media/images/product/toy-car.jpg

I intend to manually add to some rows as https://bucket.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/images/toy-cat.jpg

settings.py :

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media'

What if there are 50%
images/product/toy-car.jpg
and 50%
https://bucket.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/images/toy-cat.jpg
in the table columns ?

anjanesh I recommend you add a model method that returns the correct value based on the contents of product.image.

If product.image is filesystem path, then return product.image.url as normal.
If product.image is a bucket URL then return the bucket URL.
Use the returned value in your template instead of product.image.url.

If you don't want to fool around with model methods then instead you could use template logic that does the same thing.
