django, file-upload, python, upload, uploading
Solution
There is newer topic which asks the same question and I have tried to answer:
Django directory upload get sub-directory names
Basically it is the default behavior of Django if you want to have different behavior you need to write your own upload handlers
Problem
I know how to upload multiple files through django, but I have a problem when uploading a folder if there are subfolders in it. The django can't receive subfolders. I found the reason, because browser use '.' to represent a folder, but django can't parse it then stop parsing. Is there an elegant way to fix it? python code: ``` def uploader_single(request): data = {} if request.method == 'POST': if True: for afile in request.FILES.getlist('file'): new_file = UploadFileSingle(file = afile) new_file.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('') else: print "form is not valid" return HttpResponseRedirect('') else: print 'not post' ``` Python code: ``` class UploadFileSingle(models.Model): file = models.FileField(upload_to='files/%Y/%m/%d', models.FilePath) uploaded_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) models.FilePathField.recursive = True models.FilePathField.allow_folders = True updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) def some_folder = FilePathField(path='some_path', recursive=True, allow_files=True, allow_folders=True,)' ``` HTML code: ``` <input type="file" name="file" multiple = "true" webkitdirectory="true" directory = "true"/> ```
