I was writing an article to introduce my latest research work. However, my blog was not able to upload and share PDF files.

Therefore, I added uploading files feature for Django admin. Here are the steps.

1. Add the class in models.py

class File(models.Model):
    file_title = models.CharField(max_length=50, verbose_name=u'File Title', default='')
    file_detail = models.CharField(max_length=200, verbose_name=u'File Detail', default='')
    file_path = models.FileField(max_length=100, verbose_name=u"File", default='',
                                 upload_to='upload/%Y/%m')

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = u'Site File'
        verbose_name_plural = verbose_name

    def __str__(self):
        return self.file_title

2. Add the class in admin.py

from .models import File
class FileAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ('file_title', 'file_detail', 'file_url', 'file_data')
    readonly_fields = ('file_data', 'file_url',)
    def file_url(self, obj):
        return mark_safe(u'Copy URL by Clicking right button.' % obj.file_path.url)

    def file_data(self, obj):
        file = mark_safe(u'Filename%s' % obj.file_path.url)
        return file
    file_data.short_description = u'File'
    file_url.short_description = u'File URL'


admin.site.register(File, FileAdmin)

3. Migrate database

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
