Django : Form data not saving

Question

I have a form where user just uploads an image,but problem is when I choose an image and press button to submit. It says This field is required. on the page although I have already pointed the image. And that's all it does.I checked if it was actually submitted but no, it was not.What could be the problem ?

Models.py

class pic(models.Model):
    username = "anonymous"
    picpost = models.ImageField(upload_to='anon_pics')
    creation_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

forms.py

from django import forms
from .models import pic

class PicForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = pic
        fields = [
            "picpost"
        ]

view.py

def pic_create(request):
    form = PicForm(request.POST or None)
    if form.is_valid():
        instance = form.save(commit=False) 
        instance.save()
    context = {
        "form" : form,
    }
    return render(request, "create_pic.html", context)

create_pic.html

<body>
    <form method='POST' action=''>{% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <input type='submit' value='Upload Picture' />
    </form>
</body>

Any help is highly appreciated.Thank you very much!

Answer 1

There are two issues here.

Firstly, your view needs to pass request.FILES as well as request.POST to the form.

Secondly, your form element in the template needs to include enctype="multipart/form-data" .
