I am trying to upload files using django forms and save those files in the database itself. I have been able to save the link of the file in database and save the file itself in a directory which i specified in Media_root.Can you please help me and tell me what can i change in my code so that files are saved in the database.
here is my code:
models.py
from django.db import models
class Document(models.Model):
docfile = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/%Y/%m/%d')
forms.py
from django import forms
class DocumentForm(forms.Form):
docfile = forms.FileField(
label='Select a file',
)
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from .models import Document
from .forms import DocumentForm
def list(request):
# Handle file upload
if request.method == 'POST':
form = DocumentForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
newdoc = Document(docfile = request.FILES['docfile'])
newdoc.save()
# Redirect to the document list after POST
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('upload.views.list'))
else:
form = DocumentForm() # A empty, unbound form
# Load documents for the list page
documents = Document.objects.all()
# Render list page with the documents and the form
return render_to_response(
'list.html',
{'documents': documents, 'form': form},
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
def index(request):
return render_to_response('index.html')

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin
# admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
