jQuery-File-Upload is developed by Sebastian Tschan, with the source available on github. Example code is ported to Django by Sigurd Gartmann (sigurdga on github).

Introduction

This is a small example on how to setup Sebastian Tschan's jQuery File Upload in Django. He has a working demo on his webpage and a github repository with an example on how to do it in PHP.

Here, you'll find a minimal Django project with a minimal app. You can run the example standalone by cloning the repository, running the migrations and starting the server.

I want to give a thank to Sebastian Tschan, the original author, Etay Cohen-Solal, for the latest major update, and Jørgen Bergquist for helping me over the first hurdles.

If you do not get PIL to work (pillow is a replacement package that works with virtulalenvs), use FileField instead of ImageField in fileupload/models.py as commented in the file.

Installation

  • pip install -r requirements.txt (will install django and pillow)
  • python manage.py syncdb
  • python manage.py runserver
  • go to localhost:8000/upload/new/ and upload some files
