Hello all,
I have a slightly unusual requirement: I want to use a FileField in a
form but with a TextField in the model. (The content being uploaded is
a big bit of flat text, but I want to store it in the database, not as
a file.)
The problem is that with the code that I have together the
request.FILES parameter is empty, so the form fails validation, any
suggestions as to where I'm going wrong, thanks.
sparky
the form:
class SubmissionForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
content = forms.FileField(widget=forms.FileInput)
the model:
class Submission(models.Model):
"""
Submission model
"""
creator = models.ForeignKey(User)
created_datetime = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
description = models.TextField()
content = models.TextField()
The view code:
if request.method == 'POST':
form = SubmissionForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
s = Submission(creator=request.user,
created_datetime=datetime.datetime.now(),
title=form.cleaned_data['title'],
description=form.cleaned_data['description'],
content=form.cleaned_data['content'])
the template:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="." method="POST">
<table>
{{ form.as_p }}
</table>
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit"></p>
</form>
