Hello,
When creating a working with the models and views to upload files what
is the difference between models.FileField and forms.FileField? Just a
practical usage explanation would be good at this point.
i can't find any comparison of the two but django directions and
examples use one or the other. I've gotten forms that use
models.FileField calls to work but the forms.FileField seems to act
up. For example this general django directions use the
form.fileField:
from django import forms
class UploadFileForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
file = forms.FileField()
def upload_file(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UploadFileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file'])
return HttpResponseRedirect('/success/url/')
else:
form = UploadFileForm()
return render_to_response('upload.html', {'form': form})
def handle_uploaded_file(f):
destination = open('some/file/name.txt', 'wb+')
for chunk in f.chunks():
destination.write(chunk)
destination.close()
All the chunks() calls and others seem helpful but the
models.FileField ( upload to = /somedir) gets things done in a snap.
Any recommendations?
