pip install django-progressbarupload
```

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

Usage
-----

### ModelAdmin

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


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)


### 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 <head> tags to load javascript files and ```{% progress_bar %}``` where you and to display the progress bar.


{% 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).
