TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'image_field'

Question

I've profiles for clinics and would like to add images for each of them. I'm trying to use django-imaging and getting this error. I've followed the documentation and did the following:

settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'm1',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.sitemaps',
    'imaging',

models.py

from imaging.fields import ImagingField

class Clinic(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    slug = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique = True)
    photos = models.ImagingField()

urls.py

url(r'^imaging/', include('imaging.urls')),

I then tried doing syncdb and got the following error:

Answer 1

This is a bug in Django Imaging; see issue #11 in their tracker :

django-imagekit has been updated and the image_field kwarg has been renamed to source , its a bug in django-imaging and needs to be fixed.

That rename took place quite some time ago , in December 2012.

The work-around would be to downgrade Django-Imagekit to version 2.0.2, the last release with the field still named image_field . However, a project that hasn't been maintained to fix a field rename from 2 and a half years ago is perhaps not production worthy. Issue #11 was filed over a year ago and hasn't been fixed in all that time.

Answer 2

In your models.py, try
photos = ImagingField() instead of
photos = models.ImagingField()

Please read documentation https://github.com/pielgrzym/django-imaging

Add ImagingField to desired model from imaging.fields import ImagingField

class Somemodel(models.Model): photos = ImagingField()
