File controls are strictly only opened by browsers under direct user input, for security reasons. Similarly, you cannot provide an initial or default value to a file field. What you can do is not have any submit button at all, and submit the form by observing a change on the file field. IMO, you shouldn't do that either, as it allows no chance for the user to change their mind.

Re: retrieving current user in view
This is the traceback:
Traceback:
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/
base.py" in get_response
111. response = callback(request,
*callback_args, **callback_kwargs)

decorators.py" in _wrapped_view

46. userID = retrieveUserID(firstname, lastname)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/contrib/auth/
decorators.py" in _wrapped_view
22. if test_func(request.user):
Exception Type: AttributeError at /
Exception Value: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'user'
I also found my error using your pointers. I was passing the user's
first and last name to another view that uses it in a function that
has the @login_required decorator.
That obviously doesn't work but I can remove the decorator there to
fix my issue, thanks for the help guy's.
Concerning my other question, the way I do it now is like this:
Template:
{%
csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
View:
class SimpleFileForm(forms.Form):
upload_file = forms.FileField(label='', widget=forms.FileInput,
required=True)
This gives me a file field, a browse button and a submit button. What
I'd like to have is a submit button only, click that opens a file
dialog.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

That is the correct way to do it. I don't think that is the real code you're
running, because `request` is clearly not a unicode object in the line
beginning with `filename`, and yet it is one line later.
The full traceback would help, as would the actual code.
I don't know what you mean by "a submit button to open a select dialog".

retrieving current user in view
Hey all,
I have a Django 1.3 app that retrieves user credentials from LDAP.
Most views require the user to be authenticated so I use the
@login_required decorator.
Now, in a form a user can upload a document using a form:
{%
csrf_token %}
{{ form }}
I want to log the user's first and lastname who submitted the file in
a model. So, in my view I've tried a number of solutions but all came
up with various errors either related to the @login_required decorator
or complaining that no user exists in the POST object.
This is the latest attempt I have in my view:
def home(request):
form = SimpleFileForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
if 'upload_file' in request.FILES:
upload_file = request.FILES['upload_file']
filename = request.FILES['upload_file'].name
user = request.user
firstname = user.first_name
lastname = user.last_name
etc...
It throws this error: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'user'
Does someone know a good way how to do this? (Any suggestions on how
to get rid of the file textfield / browse button and only leave a
submit button to open a select dialog are also very much appreciated)
Thanks,
Michel
