name = models.CharField(max_length=150)
create_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
upload_file = ZipFileField(upload_to='mycontent/')

def __unicode__(self):
return self.name

Shell
-----

.. code:: python


>>> from example.core import MyContent
>>> m = MyContent.objects.get(id=2)
>>> m.upload_file
<ZipCompressFieldFile: mycontent/test.txt>
>>> m.upload_file.compress()
>>> m.upload_file
<ZipCompressFieldFile: mycontent/test.zip>

Using with Celery
-----------------

If Celery are installed on Site Packages. You just need create one
post\_save on your model to use async compress.

.. code:: python

# listeners.py file

from django.db.models.signals import post_save

def auto_compress_file_on_post_save(sender, instance, **kargs):
instance.upload_file.compress()

post_save.connect(auto_compress_file_on_post_save, sender=MyContent)

If you don´t wanna use Celery async compress:

.. code:: python


def auto_compress_file_on_post_save(sender, instance, **kargs):
instance.upload_file.compress(async=False)

post_save.connect(auto_compress_file_on_post_save, sender=MyContent)
