Django ModelForm Imagefield Upload

Question

I am pretty new to Django and I met a problem in handling image upload using ModelForm. My model is as following:

class Project(models.Model):
    name = models.         


        

Answer 1

OK, thanks everyone. I found myself made a stupid mistake. I should add enctype="multipart/form-data" in the <form> Else, it won't upload the file.

Answer 2

You shouldn't need to set the newproject.photo to request.FILES['photo'] (actually this right here probably breaks your code). Just save the addprojectform with addprojectform.save() instead of newproject = addprojectform.save(commit=False).
