django %Y/%m/%d ?

Does it support django's %Y/%m/%d ?

Hi @jet10000 thanks for reaching out. Currently it doesn't, but it's an excellent idea! That could be a great addition. Would you like to contribute it yourself or should I give it a go? Cheers,
Joe

Hi there,

I'm currently working on adding the date feature and wanted to know what the current state of this implementation is. I'm implementing this feature for now and would appreciate some input on specifying the format type. I'm planning to use the following string formats supported by Python's datetime.strftime:

"%Y" "%m" "%d" "%H:%M:%S" "%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S"

Should the format look something like this?

upload_pattern = FilePattern(filename_pattern='{model_name:.30}/{instance.system_manufacturer.pk}/{timestamp:%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S}-{uuid:base32}{ext}')

Especially for {timestamp:%m/%d/%Y, %H:%M:%S}, I'm unsure how this should work because in the format_field function, there is no type information for the argument.

Any ideas on how to handle this? Maybe using a prefix or some other convention? I'd appreciate any suggestions!

Sorry that I caused so much confusion here. You can't use Django's date formatting. But you CAN use Python's native one. I expanded the docs to showcase how it's done.
