Django file upload with UpdateView

Question

I tried a minimalistic django implementation of generic views to upload profile pictures.

views.py

class UpdateProfile(UpdateView):
    form_class =          


        

Answer 1

The problem is in your template. You haven't set enctype, so request.FILES will always be empty. It should be:

<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
