Title Body

I'm trying to write form to upload a file with Django. The admin form works just fine, but the problem is that after I click submit on my form, the form loses the file that I selected (filename disappears and 'No file chosen' appears next to 'Choose File' button), and the view won't validate the form because the file is missing. My form/view/file handler look just like the django example . forms.py class AttachForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Attachment exclude = ('insp', 'contributor', 'date') views.py def handle_uploaded_file(f): destination = open('some/file/name.txt', 'wb+') for chunk in f.chunks(): destination.write(chunk) destination.close() def attach(request, insp_id): if request.method == 'POST': form = AttachForm(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): handle_uploaded_file(request.FILES['file']) f = form.save(commit=False) f.contributor = request.user f.insp = insp_id f.save() return HttpResponseRedirect(server + '/inspections/' + str(insp_id) + '/') else: form = AttachForm() return render_to_response('attach.html', locals(), context_instance=RequestContext(request)) models.py class Attachment(models.Model): insp = models.ForeignKey(Inspection) contributor = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='+') date = models.DateTimeField() title = models.CharField(max_length=50) attachment = models.FileField(upload_to='attachments') def __unicode__(self): return self.title def save(self): if self.date == None: self.date = datetime.now() super(Attachment, self).save() class Me
