======================== django-progressbarupload

|Build Status|

django-progressbarupload is a simple Django application that instantiates an HTML5 upload progress bar when the user submits a form with files (a form having basically FileField(s) and/or ImageField(s), and an enctype="multipart/form-data").

 * django.contrib.staticfiles app to serve static files

1. Install the app

   pypi version

   ::

       pip install django-progressbarupload

   development version

       pip install -e git+http://github.com/ouhouhsami/django-progressbarupload.git#egg=django-progressbarupload

2. Add progressbarupload to your INSTALLED\_APPS in your settings

   .. code:: python

       INSTALLED_APPS += ('progressbarupload', )

3. Add "progressbarupload.uploadhandler.ProgressBarUploadHandler" to
   your FILE\_UPLOAD\_HANDLERS setting

   .. code:: python

       FILE_UPLOAD_HANDLERS = (
           "progressbarupload.uploadhandler.ProgressBarUploadHandler",
           "django.core.files.uploadhandler.MemoryFileUploadHandler",
           "django.core.files.uploadhandler.TemporaryFileUploadHandler",
       )

4. Include the progressbarupload URLconf in your project urls.py

   ::

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

5. In your settings file, if you don't want to include jquery with {%
   progress\_bar\_media %}, then set:

   .. code:: python

       PROGRESSBARUPLOAD_INCLUDE_JQUERY = False

Usage
-----

ModelAdmin
~~~~~~~~~~

Set the ``change_form_template`` and ``add_form_template`` attributes in
your ModelAdmin to 'progressbarupload/change\_form.html'.

.. code:: python

    from django.contrib import admin
    from my_awesome_app.models import MyAwesomeModelWithFiles

    class MyAwesomeModelWithFiles(admin.ModelAdmin):
        change_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'
        add_form_template = 'progressbarupload/change_form.html'

    admin.site.register(MyAwesomeModelWithFiles, UploadFileModelAdmin)

Demo
----

This app includes a demo app, just go inside testapp dir and run

::

    python manage.py migrate
    python manage.py runserver

then go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin or http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
http://127.0.0.1:8000/testapp/form or
http://127.0.0.1:8000/testapp/modelform

Form and ModelForm

To use a progress bar in your custom ModelForm or Form, load the progress_bar template tag set {% load progress_bar %} in the template, and use the following template tags {% progress_bar_media %} between

.. raw:: html

tags to load javascript files and {% progress_bar %} where you and to display the progress bar.

.. code:: django

{% load progress_bar %}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    {% progress_bar_media %}
</head>

<body>
  <form enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" action=".">
     {% csrf_token %}
     {{ form }}
     {% progress_bar %}
     <input type="submit" />
 </form>
</body>
</html>

Further information

Make sure your browser renders HTML5 <progress> tag and uses data-* attribute (IE>10, FF>6.0, Chrome>8.0, Opera>11.0).

As Django has a unique TemporaryFileUploadHandler for all request.FILES. For ModelAdmin, if you have related models, using TabularInline, the upload progress will also be shown in the admin add/change form as soon as you use the right templates in your ModelAdmin (and even if your ModelAdmin doesn't contain any file upload).

Custom TemporaryFileUploadHandler copied from http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/678/

Launch tests

It assumes you have installed virtualenvwrapper (http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/)

.. code:: bash

# get the application code
git clone https://github.com/ouhouhsami/django-progressbarupload.git
cd django-progressbarupload
# create a virtualenv
mkvirtualenv progressbarupload
add2virtualenv .
# install requirements for tests and django (set the django version you want to use)
pip install -r requirements/tests.txt django==1.7.4
# launch tests
django-admin.py test --settings=progressbarupload.test_settings progressbarupload

New: Use transparently with uwsgi/nginx

The combination of uwsgi andnginx prevent django-progressbarupload from working because nginx buffers the entire POST request until it is complete before sending it to uwsgi/django. This means your application runs faster as uwsgi threads are less tied up, but it also makes it impossible to view to progress Django side.

Whilst you could use XMLHttpRequest 2.0 to get the progress client-side, you may not have the luxury if you need to support older browsers. This is where RFC1867 <http://www.rfcreader.com/#rfc1867>__ comes in. By configuring the nginx-upload-progress-module <https://github.com/masterzen/nginx-upload-progress-module>__ in the following way, it is possible to transparently support the native method as well as the plugin:

.. code:: nginx

    upload_progress uploadp 1m;
    
    # JSON document rather than JSONP callback, pls
    upload_progress_json_output;
    
    location ^ upload/url/pattern/
        track_uploads uploadp 30s {
    }
    
    location ^~ /progressbarupload/upload_progress {
        report_uploads uploadp;
    }

nginx-upload-progress-module is available on ubuntu in the nginx-extras package.
