Usage

Uploader form

To upload files you should do a few simple steps:

Append ``urlpattern (r'^your_uploads/', include('multiuploader.urls'))``
to your urlpatterns. Create MultiUploadForm() in your views and set it
to context

Example:

::

        from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
        from multiuploader.forms import MultiUploadForm

        def my_view(request):
            context = {
                'uploadForm':MultiUploadForm()
            }
            return render_to_response(your_template, context=context)

Append to your form, where you want upload files MultiuploaderField:

Example:
~~~~~~~~

::

    # Your forms.py

    from multiuploader.forms import MultiuploaderField
    class PostMessageForm(forms.Form):
        text = forms.CharField(label=u'Question', widget=forms.Textarea)
        uploadedFiles = MultiuploaderField(required=False)

Then you should render this field in your template::

        {% load multiuploader %}
        
        <form method="POST" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        {% csrf_token %}
        <p>
            {{ form.text }}
            {{ form.text.errors }}
            {{ form.uploadedFiles }} {{ form.uploadedFiles.errors }}
        </p>
        <p>
            {% multiuploader_noscript form.uploadedFiles.html_name %}

            <input id="send" type="submit" value="Send" class="button">
            <a id="showUpload" type="button" class="button"><i class="attachment"></i>Attach files</a> 
        </p>
        </form>

        {% multiuploader_form form_type="default" template="multiuploader/form.html" target_form_fieldname=forms.edit.uploadedFiles.html_name js_prefix="jQuery" send_button_selector="input[name=_edit]" wrapper_element_id="fileUploads" lock_while_uploading=True number_files_attached=forms.attached_count %}

In this example

``{% multiuploader_noscript form.uploadedFiles.html_name %}`` template tag loads code which shown only for browsers with javascript turned to off.

-  ``form.uploadedFiles.html_name`` - argument to template tag defines
   an element name.

``{% multiuploader_form form_type="default" template="multiuploader/form.html" target_form_fieldname=forms.edit.uploadedFiles.html_name js_prefix="jQuery" send_button_selector="input[name=_edit]" wrapper_element_id="fileUploads" lock_while_uploading=True number_files_attached=forms.attached_count %}`` template tag loads code which does all needed logic.

-  ``form_type`` - type of form with predefined settings, defined in your settings.py in MULTIUPLOADER_FORMS_SETTINGS dictionary
-  ``template`` - template for multiuploader
-  ``target_form_fieldname`` - html field name of MultiuploaderField in our case it's a name of uploadedFiles
-  ``js_prefix`` - the jQuery prefix (useful when you want to create multiuploader in admin panel). This parameter is optional
-  ``send_button_selector`` - jQuery selector for field we should lock, while file uploading
-  ``wrapper_element_id`` - the name of id (form container) in which you want to create form. Useful for styling. This parameter is optional
-  ``lock_while_uploading`` is a boolean variable which controlls whether multiuploader should lock submit while uploading or not. This parameter is optional

These parameters may used as positional too.

Templates
