Q: how to let regular users (non website admin) to upload files? any example app?

[mw66]

Hi, it looks like to upload files via django-filer:

✅ Only staff or superusers (i.e. admin users) can access that page.
❌ Normal users cannot upload files via /admin/.

Is this true?

I'm just wondering how to let regular users (non website admin) to upload files? any example app?

Can we add some example app under examples/ dir?

Thanks.

This unfortunately is true, but the upcoming version of django-filer will support this common feature request.

There you can add a special file field to any of your Django forms. When rendered it will look like

If you click on it, a file browser will appear. There you can either select an existing file from the current folders or upload a new one. This then will look like

It is up to your implementation how to handle permissions for uploading, selection, etc.

The implementation of this feature can be found here: https://github.com/django-cms/django-filer/tree/finder
