NameError: name 'Video' is not defined

Question

I have little problem, I tryed make video uploader but something go wrong models.py

class Video(models.Model): name= models.CharField(max_length=500) videofile= models.FileField(upload_to='videos/', null=True, verbose_name="") def __str__(self): return self.name + ": " + str(self.videofile)

Forms.py

from django import forms class VideoForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model=Video fields=["name", "videofile"]

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render from .models import Video from .forms import VideoForm def showvideo(request): lastvideo= Video.objects.last() videofile= lastvideo.videofile form= VideoForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None) if form.is_valid(): form.save() context= {'videofile': videofile, 'form': form } return render(request, 'Blog/videos.html', context)

And yes I made migrations but he telling me that name 'Video' is not defined

In your forms you did not import the Video model.

In your forms.py, you specify model = Video, but you forgot to import the Video class, hence in that file, the name Video is not defined.

You can import this like:

# forms.py from django import forms from .models import Video class VideoForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = Video fields = ["name", "videofile"]

Note that in your view, you should not write form= VideoForm(request.POST or None, request.FILES or None), since then the form becomes invalid if there are simply nor request.POST parameters. You should pass request.POST itself, not request.POST or None.
