File not getting uploaded

[Aakash Baranwal]

Hi Everybody,

I am trying to upload a file, but it says "No file chosen", even when I have selected the file. However it is getting uploaded when I have logged in as as admin and i am uploading it from there.

Kindly help me, thanks in advance.

views.py file:

class VideoCreateView(CreateView):

form_class = VideoModelForm

fields = ['Video_Description','videofile']

template_name = 'deploy/create_view.html'

success_url = "/video/create/"

def form_valid(self, form):

form.instance.user = self.request.videofile

return super(VideoCreateView, self).form_valid(form)

models.py file:

class Video(models.Model):

    Video_Description= models.CharField(max_length=500)

    videofile= models.FileField(upload_to='videos/', null=True, verbose_name="")

    timestamp   = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    class Meta:

    ordering = ['-timestamp']

    def __str__(self):

        return self.Video_Description + ": " + str(self.id)

urls.py file:

url(r'^create/$', VideoCreateView.as_view(), name='create')

create_view.html :

<form class='form' method="POST" action="">

{% csrf_token %}

{{ form.as_p }}

<input type="submit" value="Upload" / >

</form>

PFA the image file displaying the page after i selected the file and hit the Upload Video button

With Kind Regards

In your HTML, the form tag should have an enctype

<form ... enctype="multipart/form-data">

...

</form>

Hi Vijay,

You are right, but he has mentioned that it gets uploaded when logged in as admin. Will it be a different template for the same view? Just wondering... 

@Aakaash: can you please check in both cases and confirm please

Regards, 

Ramsundar

When he said "uploading it from there" I was not sure whether "there" meant Django's admin page or the same view that's failing now

As far as I know the form has to have a multipart enctype to upload files

Hi,

Actually, his solution was correct because when I provided the encryption it worked, however I am not sure about the reason why it did worked at all.

Thanks a lot.

Gentle man you have not given enctype=" form/multipartdata" in the form tag of the HTML file
