I'm new at Django and trying a simple form. I have a model class "Profile" with a file field (schema_file) defined and also a ModelForm class for it. When I try to create a new profile in the browser I get an error "This field is required" on the schema_file field even though i chose a file in the file chooser, any ideas? my classes below:
class Profile(models.Model):
class Meta:
db_table = 'target_profiles'
class SchemaType:
XML = 1
CSV = 2
XLS = 3
JSON = 4
DB = 5
SCHEMA_CHOICES = (
(XML, 'XML'),
(CSV, 'CSV'),
(XLS, 'Excel'),
(JSON, 'JSON'),
(DB, 'Database'),
)
name = models.CharField(max_length=32, unique=True)
description = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=True, blank=True)
schema_type = models.IntegerField(choices=SchemaType.SCHEMA_CHOICES, default=SchemaType.CSV)
schema_file = models.FileField(upload_to='schema_files', max_length=64)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
view:
def add_profile(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
return HttpResponseRedirect('/profiles')
else:
form = ProfileForm()
return render(request, 'profiles/add_profile.html', {'form': form})
As you haven't posted your view, I can only guess its because you forgot to include request.FILES
:
form = ProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
And perhaps forgot to add enctype=multipart/form-data
to your form.
Add enctype="multipart/form-data"
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Upload</button>
</form>
