Keeps submited files when validation errors occur.

Project description

# django-file-resubmit

In Django project you have forms with FileField, ImageField. Everything works great, but
when ValidationError is raised, you have to reselect all files and images again. It is
kind of annoying. **django-file-resubmit** solves this problem.
It works with FileField, ImageField and sorl.thumbnail.ImageField.

## How does it work?

Here are special widgets for FileField and ImageField. When you submit files, every widget
saves its file in cache. And when ValidationError is raised, widgets restore files from cache.


## Compatible with sorl-thumbnails

It is compatible with [sorl-thumbnail](http://thumbnail.sorl.net/).


# Installation

$ pip install django-file-resubmit


# Configuration

Add `"file_resubmit"` to `INSTALLED_APPS`.

INSTALLED_APPS = {
...
'file_resubmit',
...
}

Setup cache in settings.py.

CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.locmem.LocMemCache',
},
"file_resubmit": {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.filebased.FileBasedCache',
"LOCATION": '/tmp/file_resubmit/'
},

# Examples

models.py

from django.db import models
from django.db.models import ImageField
# or if you use sorl-thumbnail
# from sorl.thumbnail.fields import ImageField

class Page(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
content = models.TextField()
image = ImageField(upload_to='whatever1')

## Admin example

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from file_resubmit.admin import AdminResubmitMixin
from .models import Page

class PageAdmin(AdminResubmitMixin, admin.ModelAdmin):
pass

admin.site.register(Page, PageAdmin)

## Widgets examples

admin.py

from file_resubmit.admin import AdminResubmitImageWidget, AdminResubmitFileWidget
from .models import Page

class PageModelForm(forms.ModelForm)

class Meta:
model = MyModel
