I'm new to django and I hope you can guide me with this, I have a model definition like this:
class Documents(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
date = models.DateField()
path = models.FileField(upload_to='documents/')
But I need to validate it as a valid PDF file, could you guide me how to do that?
You should validate file upon upload. Here's a simple solution using custom model field: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/2206/
So your code would be:
...
path = ContentTypeRestrictedFileField(
upload_to='documents/',
content_types = ['application/pdf'])
....
It's a good start even if you want to create more complex validation, since this one uses only file extension checking, I guess.
