Changing model field names for file

[mrbm]

Having a little trouble following the javascript code. I wanted to create an additional field in the model called: file_2

Then before uploading the file, have the javascript detect if the file is not an image.

If it is an image it uploads the file to the normal file field.
// file = ImageWithThumbsField(upload_to='filefolder', sizes=((75,75),(120,120)), null=True, blank=True)

If the file being uploaded is not an image, then it would use file_2
// file_2 = models.FileField(upload_to='filefolder', null=True, blank=True)

ImageWithThumbsField is working and I can see how detect for an image...just having trouble seeing how the javascript would change the file field name parameter to file_2

Thanks!

Why not do that file checking server side? You should always check your file contents server side, so why not do it there only?

I use the "magic" (python-magic) module to check file contents.
