support for sending files about django-bootstrap-modal-forms HOT 20 CLOSED

@akms04 Due to the security reasons the FileField is always reset to empty value, after unsuccessful form validation. That's how Django works. In case that you have defined FileField with blank=False, your form will throw required field error. Mark it with blank=True. In this case it will not be required and you will be able to post form without selected file.

Hello trco, does this mean that the plugin doesn't support file upload?

@free9ja For the start your kwargs.pop in __init__ of the form in forms.py is wrong. Python says dictionary.pop(keyname, defaultvalue). Meaning you should have kwargs.pop('request', None). If this simple change won't work you should concentrate on all the custom code you have written. Images and files should work out of the box with this package. Unfortunately I can't study your custom code in details.

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

I haven't written any more custom code that what i shared. the simple change didnt work . It works without using the plugin. asides the plugin no other change is introduced.

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

@free9ja Have you confirmed that your form which is loaded into the modal and lives on dedicated url works? Can you upload file through it?

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

I got everything to work before implementing the plugin.

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

I adjusted the template slightly. The request>FILES is no longer empty. But i get the error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_ajax' when i post

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

@free9ja See CreateUpdateAjaxMixin. Inside of this mixin self.request.is_ajax is called. In your case request is obviously None and thus this code doesn't pass. If you want to override things in BSModalForm be sure to understand what you're doing.

Thanks trco.
I didn't realize i had to use this. I followed the documentation on your page regarding creating models. I will and provide feedback. I'm certain it will work this time. Thanks a lot. :)

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

It worked perfectly. Sorry to have stressed you unnecessarily. I am new to Python. Thank you for such an amazing plugin.

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

@free9ja Great that you solved it. Staring a repository is highly appreciated.

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

done!

I adjusted the template slightly. The request>FILES is no longer empty. But i get the error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'is_ajax' when i post

@free9ja How do you 've adjusted the template? I still having the same problem, FILES is allways empty and validation error get "This field is required."

from django-bootstrap-modal-forms.

@free9ja, @trco, I am encountering the same issue, request.POST looks good but request.FILES is still empty even though I have been trying everything I can do, such as with enctype="multipart/form-data".

Any clues about modifying the template? my template is exactly the same as free9ja's....
