Not displaying all the files I uploaded. Showing only one

Using Django
1

I uploaded multiple files into my database. All file were uploaded and saved in database. But In front-end or even in django admin site. It is displaying only one file. I checked the database all the files what I have selected are uploaded but not showing all the files in front-end or django-admin site.

How to display all the files which are uploaded into my database in django?

We’ll need to see the models, forms, views, and ModelAdmin class for this.

Views.py

def create_course_save(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        courseCode = request.POST.get('course_code')
        courseName = request.POST.get('course_name')
        courseShortInfo = request.POST.get('course_short_info')
        courseWYWL = request.POST.get('course_wywl')
        courseSYWG = request.POST.get('course_sywg')
        courseDesc = request.POST.get('course_desc')
        courseCC = request.POST.get('course_coordinator')
        courseCC = User.objects.get(id=courseCC)

        courseFiles = request.FILES.getlist('course_files')
        try:
            for file in courseFiles:
                courseObj = Course.objects.create(
                    course_code=courseCode,
                    course_name=courseName,
                    course_short_info=courseShortInfo,

        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
        return redirect('manage_courses')

models.py

    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key = True, unique = True, default = uuid.uuid4, editable = False)
    course_code = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique = True)
    course_name = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique = True)

    def __str__(self):
        return '%s - %s' % (self.course_code, self.course_name)

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import (Course)

admin.site.register(Course)

Front-end (HTML)

    <label for="Upload Files">Upload Files</label>
    <input type="file" name="course_files" id="id_course_files" multiple>
    <input type="submit">

And I didn’t used forms

My requirement is to save the multiple files in one object. Is it possible? And What I observed is only one file is being saved in the databse for that object.

Each Field only stores a reference to one file.

Yes, an instance of a Model can store references to multiple files - if each file is assigned to a different Field.

And you really will save yourself a lot of work by using a form.

Could you share the code to it, Please or any reference to it. So, I can do it myself

Code to what? I don’t understand what you’re asking for.
