How do you configure S3BotoStorage or collectstatic to upload to an s3 bucket subdirectory

Question

Is there a way to configure django's collectstatic command to upload to a subdirectory in an s3 bucket, rather than just the top level directory?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you're using the S3BotoStorage engine from django-storages then there's a settings variable called AWS_LOCATION which will set the key prefix (equivalent to subdirectory) for the S3 bucket you specify in AWS_STORAGE_BUCKET_NAME.

Note that I haven't used this with collectstatic, but I can't see how it wouldn't work given the separation between it and the storage engines.
