title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
class ExampleFile(models.Model):
fs = FileSystemStorage(location=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
input_file = models.FileField(max_length=255, upload_to='uploads/%Y.%m.%d' , storage=fs)

template_name = 'example_form.html'
def get_success_url(self):
return reverse('example_success')
def form_valid(self, form):
form.save()
return super(BaseFormView, self).form_valid(form)
class ExampleSuccessView(generic.TemplateView):
template_name = 'success.html'
class MultipleExampleView(LoginRequiredMixin, BaseFormView):
form_class = forms.MultipleFileExampleForm
Your foreign key will not be automatically set to the current user unless you do it manually. That's why you are getting the not-null constraint error. Try modifying your form_valid
method like this:
def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.user = self.request.user
...
Read Django's documentation on models and request.user for details.
