Difficulty in using windows azure blob services for my project !!

[livelikehimanshu12]

Hello friends !!

So my project requires me to store images on blob service of windows azure .I am using django in visual studio express . I even have an azure account..

So I wrote the code using a lot help from internet (I was total beginner to django when I started this project ) . My code works perfectly fine for django admin interface i.e. my images are getting stored on azure blobs online and using the stored URL(in my models field) I am able to access it also.

I followed this url   https://pypi.python.org/pypi/azurepython3/1.7.7

But the problem comes when I am creating my own form which will take image As input from user and upload it to my account's blob service !

The image is not getting stored !! I don't know what's wrong with my code !!

It was working well when I was working with django default filesystem .The same models.py works for admim interface but for my normal GUI it is not working !!

One more thing , I created my form as we do in normal HTML and I am not using django form class !!

Plzz help me !! I am totally stuck .

I am a newbie in django !!

<button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">upload</button>

                                </form>

This thing is working via admin interface , but through my created form it is not!!!

Mt file is not getting stored !!!

This isn't how to handle uploaded files - file data is stored in
request.FILES. There is a section in the documentation explaining the
simple file upload case, see here:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/http/file-uploads/#basic-file-uploads

You would be well advised to use a ModelForm to process data that you
post to a view in order to create items:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/forms/modelforms/#module-django.forms.models

and use an ImageField to process the file:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/forms/fields/#imagefield

Cheers

Ohh thanks Tom 

it helped !!

In views.py i changed ifile=request.POST.get('inputfile') to 

                                        ifile=request.FILES['inputfile'] and it worked....

Thanks a lot !!!
