I am trying to attach a file with a contact form. My code looks like this for the form and view:
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UploadCVForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
subject = "CV Sent from BiztechAfrica"
sender = form.cleaned_data['email']
message = "Some message goes in here"
name = form.cleaned_data['name']
recipients = ['[email protected]']
cv_file = request.FILES['cv_file']
mail = EmailMessage(subject, message, sender, recipients)
mail.send()
return HttpResponse('Thanks') # Redirect after POST
else:
form = UploadCVForm()
This is my forms.py:
class UploadCVForm(forms.Form):
subject = "CV Sent from BiztechAfrica"
name = forms.CharField(max_length=128)
email = forms.EmailField()
cv_file = forms.Field(label='CV', widget = forms.FileInput, required = True )
The email works fine, but I cant attach the file because it keeps giving me a form error that the file upload input field can't be empty although I have selected a file to upload.
Any ideas? I am still a newb to Django and Python...
