[Answer]-Django – having different MEDIA_ROOT for different users

If you want to use the id of the user, you can create a function to upload the image like so:

def get_file_path(instance, filename):
  return os.path.join('%s/uploadedPhotos' % instance.user_id, filename)

Then in your model’s ImageField you’ll do

class UserImages(models.Model):
  user = models.ForeignKeyField(User)
  photo = models.ImageField(upload_to=get_file_path)

Also note that I used a ForeignKeyField for the user property. There is no OneToManyField, just ForeignKey, OneToOne and ManyToMany.

Edit:

For your form usage, you could do:

form = UploadImageForm(request.POST)
form.instance.user = request.user
user_image = form.save()

But you’d need to modify your forms.py to the following:

class UploadImageForm(forms.ModelForm):
  class Meta:
    model = UserImages
    fields = ['photo']
