Django: Save an uploaded file to a FileField
- by David Wolever
I feel a little stupid for having to ask this… But I can't seem find it documented anywhere.
If I've got a Model with FileField, how can I stuff an uploaded FILE into that FileField?
For example, I'd like to do something like this:
class MyModel(Model):
file = FileField(...)
def handle_post(request, ...):
mymodel = MyModel.objects.get(...)
if request.FILES.get("newfile"):
mymodel.file = request.FILES["newfile"]
But that doesn't appear to work.
