I have a profile page where I would like to allow a user to upload a profile picture. I can edit all of the text but cannot upload an image. It works if i add the image via the Admin, but not via the user's profile page on the website. Note that when created via admin--it is uploading correctly to the directory (profile_image) that i've specified in media folder. I've created some error handling on template page, but the error generated is this: "The 'image' attribute has no file associated with it." Below is my code:
models.py
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
first_name = models.CharField(default='',max_length=100 )
last_name = models.CharField(default='',max_length=100)
email = models.CharField(max_length=100, default='')
date_birth = models.DateField(default=datetime.datetime.now())
bio = models.TextField(default='')
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image', blank=True)
def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
if kwargs['created']:
user_profile = UserProfile.objects.create(user=kwargs['instance'])
post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)
views.py
@login_required
def edit_profile(request):
profile = get_object_or_404(models.UserProfile)
if request.method == 'POST':
form = forms.EditProfileForm(data=request.POST, instance=profile)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('/accounts/profile')
else:
form = forms.EditProfileForm(instance=profile)
args = {'form':form}
return render(request, 'accounts/edit_profile.html', args)
