Add Profile picture to Django Custom User model(AbstractUser)

Question

I have used a custom user model to overwrite username with email-id. Now I want to add an extra field that profiles pictures. I tried extending the model in models.py with the OnetoOne relationship. It works but as I am passing forms to update and create views (Class-based views) to update and create.

is there any way to add a profile picture field without creating a model with the OnetoOne relationship?

SOLUTION:

I was missing enctype="multipart/form-data" in form tags

i think this will helps you, check my github code... i`m using image field in User model.

https://github.com/shotttik/carwashProject/blob/master/user/models.py

#models.py

 class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
        ....
        def create_superuser(self, email=None, password=None, **extra_fields):
            extra_fields.setdefault('image', "default/image/path")
        ...


    class User(AbstractUser):
        ....
        image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/')

then you can add image field into forms.py
