File Input from User

[Kumar Gaurav]

Hi Everyone,

I have a social media kind of portal in Django where user can post an image and write something.

Earlier for image , I used input type=file so that user can select image from there system . But for my requirement, now I want the user to to have an option to either upload or select images from the given set just like selecting some gif's or stickers in social sites. How to do that ?

Please suggest some solution.

Thank You!!

yes you can do just make one anchor tag and call view asynchronously(using ajax) so that particular set of image is shown and then prepare logic for selecting image and submit the form as you do

I made one separate table for storing all the image sets and I am able to view it on the template. But while uploading, how to assign it to the post file input, there I am stuck ?? The post image field is configured to get image from the user's system.

1. Add an additional form field that uses RadioSelect[a] to allow the
user to choose an existing image. (Each RadioSelect choice would be an
existing image)
2. Add some form logic[b] that allows the user to either upload a new image
or select an existing image. If both form fields are filled out, raise
a ValidationError
