Simple Django Image Upload - Image file not saving

Question

Right I\'m learning how to do a simple image upload form to upload an image to MEDIA_ROOT. The form renders fine, I get no errors, but the file is not showing up in the MEDIA_RO

Answer 1

You need to attach it to a model (as an ImageField) as it's not being saved anywhere presently. It may be handled without any issues right now but it gets discarded after the view returns.

Never mind, I didn't realize models were unnecessary.
