Comment (by Faheem Mitha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>):
Hi,
I've been unable to get the most recent patch from #4165
([http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/4165])
to work. If anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong, or provide a
minimal working example, that would be most helpful.
My understanding is that #4165 should work more or less out of the box
with the default admin view, once a few configurations have been made.
Specifically, I should see an upload progress bar in a model which
contains eg a FileField when I try to upload something. Note also that JS
is enabled in the browsers I'm using -- I tried a couple of different
ones.
So, I have followed the most recent instructions on the wiki as far as I
was able. See below.
The model I am using is
== extract from models.py ==
{{{
class FileUpload(models.Model):
upload_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now(), blank=True,
editable=False)
upload = models.FileField(upload_to="bixfile")
name = models.CharField(core=True, maxlength=100)
description = models.CharField(blank=True, maxlength=200)
folder = models.ForeignKey(FolderUpload, null=True, blank=True,
related_name='parentfolder',
edit_inline=models.TABULAR)
class Admin:
pass
}}}
I checked that a table called uploadprogress_fileprogress is created in
the db, as see below
== sqlite output ==
{{{
sqlite> .dump uploadprogress_fileprogress
BEGIN TRANSACTION;
CREATE TABLE "uploadprogress_fileprogress" (
"id" integer NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
"remote_addr" varchar(64) NOT NULL,
"progress_id" varchar(32) NOT NULL,
"progress_text" text NOT NULL,
"last_ts" datetime NOT NULL,
UNIQUE ("remote_addr", "progress_id")
);
}}}
I see the expected listing in the admin view.
== admin listing for add file progress ==
{{{
Add file progress
Remote addr:
Progress id:
Last ts:
Date: Today | Calendar
Time: Now | Clock
}}}
However, there is nothing corresponding to a progress bar in FileUpload.
What am I doing wrong, if anything? If you don't have the time or
inclination to debug my setup, could you provide a minimal working
example?
Thanks, Faheem.
== installation notes ==
> INSTALLATION
> The above docs don't really work. Here's a revised version.
> 1. Add #2070 to your source tree
Used 6469_streaming_file_upload.diff as uploaded to
[http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2070]. When tested separately,
this seems to work fine.
> 2. Add the latest patch (of this ticket) to your source tree.
Patched against svn 6469 + 6469_streaming_file_upload.diff, and added an
empty
django/contrib/uploadprogress/__init__.py.
> 3. Setup your middleware/models to track file progress.
Did the following as detailed below:
* Added 'django.contrib.uploadprogress.middleware.FileProgressDB' to
my MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.[[BR]]
* Added 'django.contrib.uploadprogress' to my INSTALLED_APPS.[[BR]]
* Issued a ./manage.py syncdb [[BR]]
> 4. Set FILE_UPLOAD_DIR to a writable folder in your settings.py file.
Set this as
FILE_UPLOAD_DIR='/tmp'.
> For (3), there are two options that come in the patch (as uploadprogress
contrib):
> * FileProgressCached -- uses the cache framework for quicker ajax
(will NOT > work if your cache framework doesn't) [[BR]]
> * FileProgressDB -- uses Database models [[BR]]
> Depending on what you choose, continue below.
See above.
> FileProgressCached
> To enable this, add
'django.contrib.uploadprogress.middleware.FileProgressCached' to your
> MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.
> FileProgressDB
> To enable this:
> * Add 'django.contrib.uploadprogress.middleware.FileProgressDB' to
your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES.[[BR]]
> * Add 'django.contrib.uploadprogress' to your INSTALLED_APPS.[[BR]]
> * Issue a ./manage.py syncdb [[BR]]
