Question

I have a formset that returns empty cleaned_data, even though the formset is valid.
my view is like this:

def edit_files(request):
    file_formSet = formset_factory(FileUploadForm)
    if request.POST:
        formset = file_formSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if formset.is_valid():
            for form in formset:
                form_data = form.cleaned_data
                if form_data:
                    up_file = upload_file(form_data['file'])
    else:
        formset = file_formSet()

    return render_to_response('edit_files.html', {'formset': formset})

it is an upload form and with this problem I can’t save files
upload_file is one of my implemented methods and it works fine, I have tested this.

Answer 1

ok,
i just wanna complete the topic
so if anyone has the same problem, he/she can use this page to solve it
main keys to this solution are:
1- never forget the encryption type
2- use separate forms for different functionality

so in the template i should use:

<form method="POST" action="." encrypt="multipart/form-data">

and use two separate forms for add and delete files
like this:
this one for adding files:

<form method="POST" action="." encrypt="multipart/form-data" id="add_file">

and this one for deleting files:

<form method="POST" action="." encrypt="multipart/form-data" id="delete_file">
