The documentation for file uploads is indeed complicated, but in order to enable file uploads in the admin you don't need to worry about any of that. However you seem to be trying to declare a form field within a model. You should of course use the models.FileField, which is fully documented here: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/models/fields/#filefield Note that the only thing you *need* to do is to set a value for upload_to. -- DR. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
