Adding django-directupload to Django project

Question

I was looking to try django-directupload in one of my Django projects, but I'm new to Django and having some trouble with installation. I'm following the installation instructions in the README. I installed django-directupload using sudo pip install django-directupload.

Here is my urls.py, which I don't think is right:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from testproject import settings

import directupload
from django.contrib import admin
directupload.admin.patch_admin()
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('testproject.database.views',
    url(r'^(\d+)/$', 'test_view', name="test_page"),
    url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^directupload/', include(directupload.urls))
)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
            'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
        }),
   )

Edit:
So I've gained some insight into overriding admin templates (Thanks ilvar for the link). I copied and pasted the contrib/admin/templates/admin/change_form.html file into the project templates directory in the /admin/nameofmyapp/ subdirectory, and added {% load directupload_tags %}{% directupload_head %} below the rest of the load tags. When I go to the Django admin I get the exception: 'module' object has no attribute 'admin' on line 6 of urls.py.

Not an answer to your question, but note that you should replace from testproject import settings with from django.conf import settings as per docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/settings/… — Kristian Glass

I'm still getting a "'admin_static' is not a valid tag library" exception after overriding the admin template. I'll add the additional information to my question.

What are you trying to do in "EDIT" part? I don't see anything like that in directupload's docs.

Like it says in installation: Insert the following into the head of your admin/change_form.html template: {% load directupload_tags %}{% directupload_head %}

So why are you adding {% load url from future %}{% load admin_urls %} to change_list.html then? :)

Woops, had a couple of typos in there. Thanks for pointing that out. They are now fixed. I'm still getting the same error.

urls.py should look like this:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from testproject import settings

from directupload.admin import patch_admin
from django.contrib import admin
patch_admin()
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('testproject.database.views',
    url(r'^(\d+)/$', 'test_view', name="test_page"),
    url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^directupload/', include(directupload.urls))
)

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += patterns('',
        url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {
            'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT,
        }),
   )

My imports were incorrect.
