My Views
def apost(request):
if request.method =='POST':
form = APostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form = form.save(commit=False)
form.slug = slugify(form.title)
form.save()
return redirect('apost')
else:
form = APostForm()
template_name = 'dadmin/form.html'
items = Post.objects.all()
context = {'title':'Add Post','form':form,'items':items}
return render (request, template_name, context)
My Form
class APostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = {'title','photo','content'}
Models
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='images')
No Image uploaded is Accepted Photo is selected but when Click save. It shows this field is required error. I had searched through the questions here but request.FILES solves others problems but not mines. Whats wrong?
you should use in template where you are uploading form:
<form class="form-horizontal form_middle" enctype='multipart/form-data' method="POST">
#apply logic for media upload
</form>
in views.y, the form you are saving should also have request.FILES
studentProfileForm = StudentRegisterForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if studentProfileForm.is_valid():
user = studentProfileForm.save()
File upload is a bit weird in model forms in django. Change your forms.py to -
class APostForm(forms.ModelForm):
photo=forms.FileField(label='Upload image') # or image field
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = {'title','content'}
form.save() will automatically save the field.
