Hello, I'm starting with Django, so I was adviced to use the newforms. But I can't just figure out how to correctly upload images (or other files for that matter). I heard that there was already much discussion on this list, but on groups.google.com I couldn't find any pointers.
I tried out two code examples from blogs, but get stuck with both. First I tried this one: http://www.oluyede.org/blog/2007/03/18/django-image-uploading- validation-and-newforms/ The strange thing about this example is that part of the validation happens in the view (not in the clean_photo method of the Form). I got stuck with this, because this (line 6 , in views): img = Image.open(StringIO(request.FILES['photo'] ['content'])) kept failing. I would like to test this behavior of Image in the django shell, but wouldn't know how. Then I tried http://batiste.dosimple.ch/blog/2007-05-13-1/ which claims to be based on the former example, but seems quite different to me. Probably the reason why I can't get this to work is my lack of understanding the monkey-patching business. The strange thing here (i.e. the part where I get lost), is that the clean_avatar method takes two arguments clean_avatar(self, value), but I have no idea where this other argument should be coming from. (Django has the same problem: TypeError at /upload/ clean_photo() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)) I'm using 0.96 I was hoping you guys could lead me towards working image upload. ;-) best dirk ----------------------------- Dirk van Oosterbosch de Wittenstraat 225 1052 AT Amsterdam the Netherlands http://labs.ixopusada.com ----------------------------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
