Hello,
I've been having some problems with FileField. I can create and save
objects with the FileField file, but the file is never placed in any
directory. Essentially, the database has the correct values, but no
files are copied into the correct directory. I am using django-1.0.
A temporary file is created in memory if the file is < 2.5M, and a
temporary file is written to disk in /tmp/ if it is bigger. I have
confirmed this. Do I have to specifically trigger the save to the hard
disk to get the file to appear in my MEDIA_ROOT subfolder? From the
documentation it appeared that this should be done automatically.
Settings:
MEDIA_ROOT = '/home/paul/proj/djangotest/uploads/'
Model:
class ImageResource(models.Model):
wrapper = models.ForeignKey(ResourceWrapper)
image = models.FileField(upload_to='images/')
notes = models.CharField(max_length=200)
class ResourceWrapper(models.Model):
#incomplete class, for versioning later
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
creationDate = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)
Form:
class UploadNewImageForm(ModelForm):
name = forms.CharField(max_length=200)
class Meta:
model = ImageResource
View:
def uploadImage(request):
if request.method == 'POST': #if submitted
form = UploadNewImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES) # A form
bound to the POST data
if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
# Process the data in form.cleaned_data
#create a meta resource object
rw = ResourceWrapper(name = form.cleaned_data['name'])
rw.save()
#this is either a TemporaryFile or MemoryFile depending on its
size when I debug
img = form.cleaned_data['image']
ir = ImageResource(wrapper=rw,
notes = form.cleaned_data['notes'],
image = img, ##maybe the problem is here???
)
ir.save()
#redirect to the main page
return HttpResponseRedirect('/Main_page/') # Redirect after POST
Any ideas? This is frustrating because there are no error messages to
point me in the right direction, and everything else seems to work.
