Re: Store base64 data in database with imagefield ?

are you sure this is actually a good idea?

in almost all cases serving the image via the actual web server, whose job it is to serve images, is the best idea.

either way, you wouldn't use an image field to store base64 data. that's for references to actual files in a filesystem.

first you'd need to convert the image to base64. then store that in a textfield. keep in mind there's going to be size limits with that.

i'd read:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/topics/http/file-uploads/ if you're dealing with uploads from a client's browser

otherwise just standard file objects will work

and then

http://docs.python.org/library/base64.html

re: nikhil, i'm not sure how jquery or any of that is relevant,

Do you have any idea how to do it ?

Or some hints to give me ?
