通过Django Admin将图像上传到ImageField时出错

Question

Trying to upload a picture via the Django admin panel and I'm getting an error. The model is:

fs = FileSystemStorage(location='/media')

class Picture(models.Model):
    picture_path = models.ImageField(upload_to=fs, blank=True)
    hunter_ID = models.ForeignKey(User,
                                  on_delete=models.CASCADE,)
    bounty_ID = models.ForeignKey('bountyhunt.Bounty',
                                  on_delete=models.CASCADE,)
    winner = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    example_pic = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.picture_path

and the error I'm getting is:

TypeError at /admin/hunt/picture/add/

Any ideas?

As the error indicates, the issue id with your Picture model's __str__ method. Instead of returning a string it is returning an ImageFieldFile object.

Change it to return a string - eg,

def __str__(self):
    return str(self.picture_path)

or:

def __str__(self):
    return self.picture_path.name
