Source code for an example app at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5871730/need-a-minimal-django-file-upload-example

minimal-django-file-upload-example

Project contains source code that was made originally for the Django file upload example at StackOverflow.

The goal with minimal-django-file-upload-example is to demonstrate and teach how file uploading is done with Django. Because of the academic nature of the project all the extra functionality is left out. Otherwise you would have hard time to guess what is important and what is not.

The following Django versions are supported:

• Django 3.0 | source.
• Django 2.0.2 | source.
• Django 1.9 | source.
• Django 1.8 | source.
• Django 1.7 | source.
• Django 1.6 | source.
• Django 1.5 | source.
• Django 1.4 | source.
• Django 1.3 | source.

Usage (Django 3.0)

Django 3.0 supports Python 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8. Using a virtual environment is highly recommended although not strictly required.

$ git clone https://github.com/axelpale/minimal-django-file-upload-example.git
$ cd minimal-django-file-upload-example
$ cd src/for_django_3-0
$ pip install -r requirements.txt (only if you don't have Django 3.0 installed)
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py runserver

Usage (Django 2.0.2)

First ensure you have Django 2.0.2 installed. Then:

$ git clone https://github.com/axelpale/minimal-django-file-upload-example.git
$ cd minimal-django-file-upload-example
$ cd src/for_django_2-0/myproject
$ python manage.py makemigrations
$ python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb
$ python manage.py runserver

Usage (Django 1.9)

First ensure you have Django 1.9 installed. Then:

$ git clone https://github.com/axelpale/minimal-django-file-upload-example.git
$ cd minimal-django-file-upload-example
$ cd src/for_django_1-9/myproject
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py runserver

Differences between code for Django 1.7 and 1.8

• settings.py: New TEMPLATE settings. See upgrading instructions for details.
• settings.py: reverted to the default directory for db.sqlite3 database and media dir.
• urls.py: Added explicit RedirectView permanent argument: RedirectView.as_view(url='/myapp/list/', permanent=True))

Differences between code for Django 1.6 and 1.7

• use ./manage.py migrate instead of ./manage.py syncdb

Differences between code for Django 1.5 and 1.6

• myapp/urls.py: changed the line from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url to from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

Differences between code for Django 1.4 and 1.5

• urls.py: Django 1.5 recommends RedirectView to be used instead of django.views.generic.simple.redirect_to. See RedirectView for details.
• list.html: url template tag requires view names to be double quoted. See Django 1.5 release note overview for details.

Differences between code for Django 1.3 and 1.4

• Directory hierachy follows Django's defaults. For example manage.py has risen one level up.
• Due to hierarchy change absolute package paths are now more recommended and therefore used. Look INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py for example.
• Little more comments
• More encoding definitions # -- coding: utf-8 --
• Database renamed to database.sqlite3

minimal-django-file-upload-example's Issues

Restricting File Uploads to certain types only

Hello. I really love your project and I want to use it in one of my apps, however I would like to know how and where can I impose upload restrictions so that users can only upload *.doc, *.pdf, *.docx, *.txt, and prevent anything else, including files such as file.txt.exe (for obvious reasons).

Where do you think I can make that modification? In the code, the DB view?

Thank you.

Error in readme

Where you wrote
myapp/urls.py: changed from django.conf.urls import patterns, url to from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url
i think is just the other way around
myapp/urls.py: changed from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, url to from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

Implementation of the project

I have implemented the sample project. But cannot see the results after clicking upload button.
