Installation

pip install django-fineuploader

Setup

Add fineuploader and fineuploader.ajaxuploader to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    'fineuploader',
    'fineuploader.ajaxuploader',
)

Be sure you have the django.template.context_processors.request processor

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                ...
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Update your urls.py file:

urlpatterns += [
    url(r'^fineuploader/', include('fineuploader.urls')),
]

and include fineuploader templates

{% include "fineuploader/fineuploader_css.html" %} {# Before the closing head tag #}
{% include "fineuploader/fineuploader_js.html" %} {# Before the closing body tag #}

When deploying on production server, don’t forget to run:
