Custom Storage System not working properly

[jtheoof]

As described in django ​doc, it should be possible to override the default storage system.

from django.db import models
from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage

fs = FileSystemStorage(location='/media/photos')

class Car(models.Model):
    ...
    photo = models.ImageField(storage=fs)

Also, by default, the DefaultStorage is the FileSystemStorage in django.core.files.storage

But specifying storage at model field level is rising an exception see this code:

import datetime

from django.core.files.storage import FileSystemStorage
from django.db import models

class ModelTest(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='test', storage=FileSystemStorage)
    date_created = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)

I'm getting the following exception at view level:

unbound method get_valid_name() must be called with FileSystemStorage instance as first argument (got unicode instance instead)

when I try to upload a file in the admin interface.

If I remove the storage parameter, it works fine.

You are passing the storage class as the argument, instead of an instance of the class, as described in the docs.

Sorry about that.
