I am working in Django 3.2.13 trying to create a simple upload form for a file model with a chained foreign key. I have tried creating a form with a basic form model and a ModelForm, however, even when checking request.FILES there is no data and request_file = request.FILES['document'] if 'document' in request.FILES else None
yields None.
views.py
def home(request):
if handleAuth(request) is not None:
return handleAuth(request)
user = request.user
if request.method == "POST":
# if the post request has a file under the input name 'document', then save the file.
form = FileSubmissionForm(user, request.POST, request.FILES)
#print(request.FILES)
#request_file = request.FILES['document'] if 'document' in request.FILES else None
#if request_file:
form.save()
#else:
# print("NO FILE")
userFiles = []
if user.is_company_admin:
temp = StorageFile.objects.filter(company_key=user.company_key)
else:
temp = StorageFile.objects.filter(company_key=user.company_key,
profile__in=user.user_profiles.all())
temp.order_by("profile")
for file in temp:
userFiles.append({"name": file.getFileName(), "path": file.getMediaPath()})
form = FileSubmissionForm(user)
return render(request=request,
template_name="fileCloudApp/home.html",
context={"userHasAdmin": user.is_company_admin, "files": userFiles, "form": form})
forms.py
from django import forms
from fileCloudApp.models import StorageFile
from loginApp.models import UserProfile
class FileSubmissionForm(forms.Form):
fileChoice = forms.FileField()
profileChoice = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=UserProfile.objects.none(), label="Choose profile")
def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
super(FileSubmissionForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if user.is_company_admin:
temp = UserProfile.objects.filter(company_key=user.company_key)
else:
temp = user.user_profiles.all()
temp.order_by("label")
self.fields["profileChoice"].queryset = temp
self.user = user
def save(self):
print(self["fileChoice"].value()) # None
pro = UserProfile.objects.filter(id=int(self["profileChoice"].value()))
if len(pro) > 0:
pro = pro[0]
print(pro)
models.py
class StorageFile(models.Model):
date_updated = models.DateTimeField('Date Updated', default=timezone.now)
company_key = models.ForeignKey(CompanyModel, verbose_name="Company", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
file_upload = models.FileField(upload_to=company_directory_path)
profile = ChainedForeignKey(
UserProfile,
chained_field="company_key",
chained_model_field="company_key",
show_all=False,
auto_choose=True,
sort=True,
on_delete=models.PROTECT)
def getLocalPath(self):
return self.file_upload.name.split(str(self.company_key.id) + "/")[1]
def getMediaPath(self):
return "get/{0}/0/{1}".format(self.id, self.getFileName())
def getFileName(self):
return self.file_upload.name.split("/")[-1]
def getFilePath(self):
return settings.MEDIA_ROOT + "{0}/{1}".format(str(self.company_key.id), self.getFileName())
def __str__(self):
return str(self.company_key) + ": " + str(self.file_upload)
Form must contain enctype="multipart/form-data"
