Hi all, I am creating a form ( a customized one ) which tries to
upload ( bind )
an image file and save the file into my directory ( and its location
in mysql database )
The code is right here :
# views.py
def customized_form(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CustomizedForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
# here create the data object
pressrelease = PressRelease.objects.create(
title = form.cleaned_data['title'],
body = form.cleaned_data['body'],
images = form.cleaned_data['images'],
user = request.user,
)
pressrelease.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/upload_form_success/')
else:
form = CustomizedForm()
variables = RequestContext(request,{'form':form})
return render_to_response('upload_form.html',variables)
#forms.py
class CustomizedForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField(max_length=100)
body = forms.CharField()
images = forms.FileField()
#models.py
class PressRelease(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
body = models.TextField()
images = models.ImageField(upload_to='userimages')
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
#upload_form.html
<form method="post" action="." enctype="multipart/form-data">
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
After submitting the form, the mysql database gets populated with the
required data, including the
file name ( but not location )
I've check the 'userimages' folder and found out that none of the
uploaded images are
being saved into the 'userimages' folder.
Can any one guide me on how to upload files ( image files ) and save
it to a
directory and with it's location in the mysql database? I need to be
able to retrive the files as well.
PS: i understand i can do it by creating a form out of the model class
but i just
wanted to learn more about the forms api.
Thank you for your time!
