For some reason in django the form that I am trying to use is not considered valid. This code is taken almost directly from a site that claims that it works but is still not functional. my code is as follows.
VIEWS
def display_update_image(request, pk):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = ImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
display = Display.objects.get(pk = pk)
display.image = form.cleaned_data['image']
display.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('displays'))
else :
form = ImageForm()
return render(request, 'catalog/update_display_image.html', {'form': form})
TEMPLATE (template name is update_display_image.html)
<form method = "post" enctype = "multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
<p>
<input id = "id" type = "file" class = "" name = "image">
</p>
<input type = "submit" value = "Submit" />
MODELS
class Display(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length = 50,)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'images')
id = models.UUIDField(primary_key = True, default = uuid.uuid4, unique = True)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
edit: forget to post Forms code sorry
class ImageForm(forms.Form):
image = forms.ImageField()
further edit: changing my forms class to this
class ImageForm(forms.Form):
class Meta:
model = Display
fields = ('image',)
Allows the form to be read as valid for some reason though I don't understand why. Unfortunately that causes my views method to be unable to function properly as it can no longer read
display.image = form.cleaned_data['image']
