Installation

Installing django-uploadify

1. Install package

   pip install git+git://github.com/frol/django-uploadify.git
   

2. Add 'uploadify' to your INSTALLED_APPS in your project's settings.py file

3. Add a reference to uploadify in your urls.py...

   (r'^uploadify/', include('uploadify.urls')),
   

Installing Uploadify

1. "Download uploadify"
2. Copy all of the 'uploadify' folder from the Uploadify distribution into your media root. Default is: MEDIA_URLjsuploadify
3. Rename the uploadify file from "jquery.uploadify.v2.1.0.min.js" (or whatever version it is) to simply "jquery.uploadify.js"
4. In uploadify/settings.py, make sure the setting UPLOADIFY_PATH is set to the correct value if the uploadify folder is installed to a location other than the default. Note that the UPLOADIFY_PATH setting is relative to the MEDIA_URL value.

Using django-uploadify

How It Works

Django-uploadify works by providing a template tag, {% multi_file_upload <upload_complete_url> %}., which takes a single parameter. The template tag will render the Uploadify jquery/flash multi-file upload interface on the page. A user may operate Uploadify, selecting and uploading multiple files. For each file that is uploaded a Django signal will be fired, containing the file data. After all uploads have been completed, the template tag will use the value of 'upload_complete_url'. It will fetch that page via AJAX, and replace the Uploadify GUI with the contents of the page (a jQuery $.load).

Code Examples

To insert the django-uploadify template tag...

{% load uploadify_tags %}{% multi_file_upload '/your/url/upload/complete/' %}

To add custom parameters to uploadify...

{% multi_file_upload '/your/url/upload/complete/' unique_id=someobj.id auto=1 %}

Creating a signal receiver...

def upload_received_handler(sender, request, data, **kwargs):
    if data:
        # process the received file here
        try:
            related_obj = SomeObj.objects.get(id=request.GET.get('unique_id'), owner=request.user)
        except SomeObj.DoesNotExist:
            return {'status': 'failed', 'status_msg': 'SomeObj not found'}
        Media = Media.objects.create(image=data)
        return {'status': 'ok', 'url': photo.get_preview_url()}
    raise Http404

upload_recieved.connect(upload_received_handler, dispatch_uid='yourapp.whatever.upload_received')

Reference

Client Side Event: allUploadsComplete

On the client side, a javascript event is provided to capture when all uploads have been completed. It can be bound with the following jQuery code:

$('#uploadify').bind('allUploadsComplete', function(e, data){
     // This code executes on AllUploadsComplete event...
}

upload_complete_url Parameter

When this page is fetched by the client-side javascript, the following Uploadify values are POST'ed to it: * filesUploaded - The total number of files uploaded * errors - The total number of errors while uploading * allBytesLoaded - The total number of bytes uploaded * speed - The average speed of all uploaded files
