I am trying to use the common <input type="file" name="filesfield" multiple /> to upload multiple files. However I am only getting one file in the FILES['filesfield'] after selecting multiple files, and submitting the encapsulating form. I have looked around stack overflow and cant scrub anything up.
<form id="uploadformid" action="/basicsite/handleuploadrequest/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<p><input type="submit" value="Upload" /></p>
<input type="file" name="files[]" multiple />
</form>
Am I doing something wrong? I am using Chrome, and if it matters I am receiving the requests with django 1.6

I'm new to ColdFusion and was trying to attempt a simple process to where you take a picture of something with your IOS camera device and it sends it to a drive on your computer in a absolute path temporary folder. I don't know if this is the right approach to doing this?
However, when I hit submit it returns a fatal error I'm not sure why here is what I attempted. Also, when i tested to see if the uploadfile was set but it says it isn't and yet it is in the name field?
test.cfm
<form name="uploadform" action="testaction.cfm" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" capture="camera" accept="image/*" id="cameraInput" name="uploadfile">
<input type="submit" name="uploadsubmit" value="Upload">
</form>
testaction.cfm
<cfif isDefined("form.uploadfile")>
<cffile
action = "upload"
fileField= "uploadfile"
destination= "T:\cftest"
nameConflict= "overwrite">
<cfelse>
<form name="uploadform" action="test.cfm" method="POST"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" capture="camera" accept="image/*" id="cameraInput"
name="uploadfile">
<input type="submit" name="uploadsubmit" value="Upload">
</form>
</cfif>
I've built a simple form to open up a JIRA ticket based on user input. I've almost got all of it, except I don't know how to use the form element in the POST request. Here's what I have so far:
<form target="_blank" action='http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10517&issuetype=3&summary=Change+application+name+to+{{new_name}}&reporter={{request.user}}&priority=5&assignee=xxx' method='post'>
<label for="new_name">New name: </label>
<input id="new_name" type="text" name="new_name" value="{{item.name}}">
<input type="submit" value="Create JIRA ticket">
</form>
So I just need the value the user puts in the new_name element to be passed into the appropriate spot in the URL. How do I access that?
It sounds like you're getting POST and GET mixed. POST data would not be included in the URL itself, but rather in the request payload itself.
So, your URL would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa
The payload would be separately put in the body of the HTTP request.
If you need to use a GET method, the URL itself would be the same as above, but the URL that eventually gets hit would be http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?new_name=WHATEVERVALUE.
If you need additional key-value pairs to get passed, just add them as hidden fields and pass them that way.
Your code, edited:
<form target="_blank" action='http://baseurl.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa' method='post'> <!-- ARE YOU SURE IT'S A POST REQUEST AND NOT A GET? -->
<label for="new_name">New name: </label>
<input id="new_name" type="text" name="new_name" value="{{item.name}}">
<input type="hidden" value="10517" name="pid">
<input type="hidden" value="3" name="issuetype">
<input type="hidden" value="5" name="priority">
<input type="hidden" value="Change application name to {{new_name}}" name="summary">
<input type="hidden" value="{{request.user}}" name="reporter">
<input type="hidden" value="xxx" name="assignee">
<input type="submit" value="Create JIRA ticket">
</form>
Makes sense?
I have this recurring problem with form submission in Django, and the frustrating part is that I'm not sure how to interpret what's happening. Essentially I have different pages with form submissions on them. Some of them work as following
localhost/page/formpage--> localhost/page/receivingpage
which is what I expect. Othertimes, it goes to a page like this
localhost/page/formpage--> localhost/page/formpage/recevingpage
and the screen shows a blank form page, which is not what I expect. I'm not sure how to interpret this, and I'm not sure where to look for errors in my code. I think I don't fully understand what's going on when I submit a form, how does it generate a URL after I press 'submit'?
Edit: here is my html form:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<div>
<p>Entry Form</p>
<form action= "user" method="post" >
{% csrf_token %}
<p><label for="id_username">Username:</label>
<input id="id_username" type="text" name="username"" /></p>
<p><label for="id_password">Password</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="id_password" /></p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>
</html>
I suspect it isn't the form, I have it on another application and it works... the trouble is I don't know if it's the view, the template, or w/e, so I'll update the post with info as people request it.
I'd recommend putting in an action using the url template tag. With that, you will know for certain where the form is going to end up:
<form action="{% url 'user-url-name' %}" method="post">
The url tag will be an absolute url. Without this, you're going to end up at a relative url depending on where in your application the user submits the form, which can be quite confusing during development and not entirely correct.
Using {% url %} tag is the proper way to do. Your problem can also be solved by adding a forward slash / to the action attribute like this:
<form action="/user" method="post" >
Hope this helps!
I am looking into uploading a file from the html template. I've seen a fair amount of documentation including FileFields, ImageFields etc. However, ideally I do not want to rewrite my code.
Currently, I have a simple form on my template and I would like to have an upload function there, where, an image will be uploaded and stored into my applications media folder and if possible added to a database.
I do know that I've probably taken a long and complex route but if anyone can help it'll be great!
html.py:
<div class="row"> <div class="span1 offset5"> </bR>
<form class="form-horizontal" method="get" action="/add/submit" value="add">
<fieldset> <div class="input">
<div class="inline-inputs">
<label>Ride Name:</label><input type="text" name="name">
<label>Type:</label><input type="text" name="type">
<label>Theme:</label><input type="text" name="theme">
<label>Description:</label><textarea rows="5" name ="description"></textarea>
<label>Author:</label><input type="text" name="author">
<label>Date Released:</label>
<div id="datetimepicker" class="input-append date">
<input type="text" name="date"></input>
<span class="add-on">
<i data-time-icon="icon-time" data-date-icon="icon-calendar"></i>
</span>
</div>
<label>Thread:</label><input type="text" name="thread">
<label>Video</label><textarea rows="2" name ="video"></textarea>
<br><br>
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Add" />
</div> </div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div> </div>
Currently my Views.py just takes the entered data and inserts it into a database. I want to add the ability for a file to be uploaded:
def Ride_Add_Submit(request):
name = request.GET['name']
type = request.GET['type']
theme = request.GET['theme']
description = request.GET['description']
author = request.GET['author']
releasedate=request.GET['date']
video=request.GET['video']
thread=request.GET['thread']
entry = RollerCoaster(name=name, type=type, theme=theme, description=description, releasedate=releasedate, author=author, video=video, thread=thread)
entry.save()
return TemplateResponse(request, 'Ride_Add.html')
I don't understand why you keep talking about the template here, the template has nothing whatsoever to do with anything. The handling of the upload, like all logic, is done in the view.
The file upload overview still has all the information you need. You can ignore the parts about the Django form and checking if it's valid, and simply pass the file object to your upload handling function, which that page also explains.
However you will need to change your template so that the form element uses POST instead of GET (which is almost certainly a good idea anyway), and use enctype="multipart/form-data" as also described on that page.
Finally, I really would advise you to rewrite your code to use ModelForms. Not only would it make your code much simpler, it would also do things like validate the entry to make sure all the required fields are present and are of the right types, and so on - as well as output valid HTML (for instance, you're missing for attributes in your label tags).
I have two different forms on my home page: one for logins and one for registrations. As you can see from the code, the forms have inputs with different names:
<h3> Log In </h3>
<form action="/login/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="password" name="login_password" id="id_login_password" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info">Login</button>
</form>
<h3> Sign Up <small>(It's free!)</small></h3>
<form action="/register/" method="POST" class="form-vertical" style="padding-top: 5px">
<input id="id_register_username" type="text" name="register_username" maxlength="25" />
<input type="text" name="register_email" id="id_register_email" />
<input type="password" name="register_password" id="id_register_password" />
<input type="password" name="register_password2" id="id_register_password2" /><br>
<button type="submit" class="btn">Submit</button>
</form>
Which renders to this in Chrome:
What can be causing this? And how can I fix it?
That's a really good question and I'm sorry to say I have no idea. Did
you try to register once and also login at least once? If so, that
"might" be what's causing it as browsers come complete with the
"autoremember" feature.
Assuming autofill is enabled (it is by default), the reason it autofills the rest is because chrome's autofill server works on regular expressions, not exact matches.
All the regular expressions used for the various fields can be found in autofill_regex_constants.cc.utf8.
From there you can see that the expression for email field is "e.?mail" and for username it is "user.?name|user.?id|nickname|maiden name|title|prefix|suffix"
It appears a similar question has been asked before:
What is the correct way to stop form input boxes auto-completing?
There is an autocomplete attribute you can use in form fields.
<input id="id_login_username" type="text" name="login_username" maxlength="25" autocomplete="off" />
