Q: 

Django admin action with file upload - process file content and put it in database

Hi,

I want to add some functionality in admin that allows me to upload file and the process it. I already have a model that I can edit trough the admin, but I want to be able to "upload" multiple items with this file processing.

How can I achieve this in the admin?

A: 

Hi, you can use Django Filebrowser. This app can handle multiple uploads with progressbar and have many other things.

My problem is not to add file field to the model but to upload a file that have multiple model items data, to process it and put them in the database so this won`t help me.

A: 

The solutions I used is the one described in my comment. Create an empty model (with pass instead of fields), custom admin form and place your logic in the form.
