I'm writing an app to allow users in a school to upload newsletters to our
website, but I'm having problems using models.FileField in a generic view.
I've set
MEDIA_ROOT = '/data/school/media/'
and MEDIA_URL is also set to a valid location. I've checked and re-checked
permissions on the directories: www-data (apache user) has full RWX
permissions. The model:
class Newsletter(models.Model):
issue_date = models.DateField()
issue_number = models.IntegerField()
table_of_contents = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
pdf_file = models.FileField(upload_to='newsletters', null=True,
blank=True)
In urls.py:
# Create newsletter detail
(r'^new/$',
CreateView.as_view(
model=Newsletter,
template_name='newsletter/edit.html',
)),
If I set the pdf_file field so that a file is required, it fails every time
with the error "This field is required", even though a file has been
selected. If I set it to "null=True, blank=True" (as above) it takes no
notice of the file I have selected in the "pdf_file" upload field.
I'm not sure if I've missed something obvious. Searching around turns up an
old bug which gives the same problem but was fixed years ago.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, TIA.
