Using FileBrowser in a Form

[Kusako]

Hi-

is it possible to use the FileBrowser in a form (instead of a model)?
It still is in the admin site, I just don't have a model, because the
file path has to be sent to web service and not stored to the databse.

Thanks for your help,

you could try the FileBrowseFormField from fields.py - I´ve never done
it, but basically it should work. as you can see from the code, it
just extend a regular CharField.

Hi Patrick-
thanks for the help.
Actually this was what I tried first, after a quick glance at the
sources. Unfortunately it raises a ViewDoesNotExist Excpetion with a
rather unsepcific Error was: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get':

Traceback:

unfortunately, I´m not much help here. all I can say is, that it
should be easy to find what´s wrong with a bit of debugging. try some
print-statements when running the dev-server. e.g., try to output
"initial_directory" and other variables.

the only get-method used in this context is in the
filebrowsewidget ...
