I have been trying to add a view that uploades videos and displays them in the main template, well while adding code, I realized that the view that uploades the file isn't being rendered while the view that shows the uploded file in the template gets rendered but it doesnt show anything because nothing is being uploded. I dont know where the error might be but I think it is on the views.py, maybe the urls.py.
views.py
def upload(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = PostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.user = request.user
instance.save()
return redirect('home')
print('succesfully uploded')
else:
form = PostForm()
print('didnt upload')
return render(request, 'home.html', {'form': form})
def home(request):
contents = Post.objects.all()
context = {
"contents": contents,
}
print("nice")
return render(request, 'home.html', context)
urls.py
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.home, name='home'),
path('upload', views.upload, name='upload'),
]
models.py
class Post(models.Model):
text = models.CharField(max_length=200)
video = models.FileField(upload_to='clips', null=True, blank="True")
user = models.ForeignKey(User, related_name='imageuser', on_delete=models.CASCADE, default='username')
def __str__(self):
return str(self.text)
forms.py
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ('text', 'video')
exclude = ['user']
home.html (uplodes the content and displays it)
<div class="user-content">
{% for content in contents %}
<li class="">{{ content.text }}
{% if content.video %}
<video class="video" width='400'>
<source src='{{ content.video.url }}' type='video/mp4'>
</video>
{% endif %}
</li>
{% endfor %}
</div>
<div class="uplodes">
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="text" placeholder="Add a comment..." required="" id="id_text">
<input type="file" name="video" id="id_video">
<button class="submit-button" type="submit">Save</button>
</form>
</div>
