Installation

$ pip install multiuploader

Then you should append ‘multiuploader’ to your INSTALLED_APPS and run

$ python manage.py makemigrations $ python manage.py migrate multiuploader

Also, if you want previews for uploaded images you need to do syncdb for sorl.thumbnail.

You must have at least Django 1.10 version or later.

Also you need to append ‘multiuploader.context_processors.booleans’ to your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.

Setup

In your settings.py you may use these options to configure application:

MULTIUPLOADER_FILES_FOLDER = ‘multiuploader’ - media location where to store files

MULTIUPLOADER_FILE_EXPIRATION_TIME = 3600 - time, when the file is expired (and it can be cleaned with clean_files command).

it is a dictionary with multiple form settings. When you append a multiuploader, you can choose a preconfigured form type, which will accept only extensions and content types you’ve provided.

All these parameters are optional.
