Is there any possibility someone could look into enabling S3 storage? Just looking at the other package I'm not sure I like their implementation. I much prefer the transparency of this app - any help on fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated as this app is exactly what I'm after. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback. I can look into it, but it might be beyond the scope of what this application should be doing.

Are you currently using any custom s3 file storage extension for Django? For example, https://bitbucket.org/david/django-storages/
I'm just wondering how you have integrated S3 into Django.

Yes I'm currently using django-storages and I get the feeling I'm also
using django-boto. I'm away from my work machine at the moment so I can't
check but I'll post back later with the full configuration. I'm using S3
because I've found that pushing/pulling to the elastic beanstalk with git
is tricky if you store data locally - git seems to have an 'all or nothing'
approach and so if I'm to use local storage I have to export and import my
data every time I do an update. Thanks for your help!

I went to widgets.py to try and help with this and got in over my head fairly quickly, but I found settings.MEDIA_URL on line 22. With storages, settings.MEDIA_URL might not be the right thing to use here. At least for the existing image (if there is one), field.url should be used instead.

I've not found a solution to this issue yet, unfortunately. I'm using django-storages and django-boto to upload media to an S3 bucket. I'm using the following options in my settings.py... any ideas?

DEFAULT_FILE_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
THUMBNAIL_DEFAULT_STORAGE = 'storages.backends.s3boto.S3BotoStorage'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = '...'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = '...'
AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME = '...'

MEDIA_ROOT = '/media/'
MEDIA_URL = 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/...'

Has anyone had some time to look into this? I was playing around with things today but to no avail. I've included a traceback below. When I select an image it does actually upload it to my S3 bucket (I've deleted the images though, so the url in the traceback won't actually work) but something goes awry. The img tag is not created and then when hitting upload I'm thrown the following error. Seems like it's close to working but it can't sanitize the url properly or something.
