I'm building a web app in Django.
I have a form that sends a file to views.py.
Views:
@login_required(login_url=login_url)
def addCancion(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form2 = UploadSong(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form2.is_valid():
if(handle_uploaded_song(request.FILES['file'])):
path = '%s' % (request.FILES['file'])
ruta = "http://domain.com/static/canciones/%s" % path
usuario = Usuario.objects.get(pk=request.session['persona'])
song = Cancion(autor=usuario, cancion=ruta)
song.save()
return HttpResponse(ruta)
else:
return HttpResponse("-3")
else:
return HttpResponse("-2")
else:
return HttpResponse("-1")
I'm trying to upload only the MP3 files, but I don't know how to make this filter.
I tried a class named "ContentTypeRestrictedFileField(FileField):" and doesn't work.
How can I get the file type in views.py?
Thanks!
You could also use the clean() method from the form, which is used to validate it. Thus, you can reject files that are not mp3. Something like this:
class UploadSong(forms.Form):
[...]
def clean(self):
cleaned_data = super(UploadSong, self).clean()
file = cleaned_data.get('file')
if file:
filename = file.name
print filename
if filename.endswith('.mp3'):
print 'File is a mp3'
else:
print 'File is NOT a mp3'
raise forms.ValidationError("File is not a mp3. Please upload only mp3 files")
return file
with import mimetypes, magic
:
mimetypes.MimeTypes().types_map_inv[1][
magic.from_buffer(form.cleaned_data['file'].read(), mime=True)
][0]
gives you the extension as '.pdf' for example

You mean this:
u_file = request.FILES['file']
extension = u_file.split(".")[1].lower()
if(handle_uploaded_song(file)):
path = '%s' % u_file
ruta = "http://example.com/static/canciones/%s" % path
usuario = Usuario.objects.get(pk=request.session['persona'])
song = Cancion(autor=usuario, cancion=ruta)
song.save()
return HttpResponse(content_type)
for get direct of request:
import os
extesion = os.path.splitext(str(request.FILES['file_field']))[1]
or get extesion in db - model.
import os
file = FileModel.objects.get(pk=1) # select your object
file_path = file.db_column.path # db_column how you save name of file.
extension = os.path.splitext(file_path)[1]
