Uploading image is not creating media file - django

Question

Guys I'm new to django I tried uploading images in the imagefield but it's not creating media folder and the database image column is also blank.
settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
models.py
class Profile(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/')
image.html
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data>
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="customFile" name="image"/></div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="name" placeholder="">
</div>
</form>
views.py
def hotel:
if request.method == "POST" :
post=Profile()
post.image= request.POST.get('image')
post.name = request.POST.get('name')
post.save()
return redirect('/vendor_dashboard/profile_pic')
return render(request,'profile.html')
Even tried manually creating the media file Django.
Still nothing!!
Any help Will be appreciated

Answer 1

Uploaded files are in request.FILES instead of request.POST. So your file handling should look like this:
# post.image= request.POST.get('image')
post.image = request.FILES['image']
I'd recommend to read the Django docs about file uploads

Answer 2

use request.FILES:
def hotel:
if request.method == "POST" :
post=Profile()
post.image= request.FILES['image']
post.name = request.POST.get('name')
post.save()
return redirect('/vendor_dashboard/profile_pic')
return render(request,'profile.html')

Answer 3

You have to include {{form.media}} to the django form template if you want to post any type of media to django
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-
data>
{% csrf_token %}
{{form.media}}
<input type="file" class="form-control"
idd="customFile" name="image"/></div>
<input type="text" class="form-control"
name="name" placeholder="">
</div>
</form>
edit:
and in views.py you have to use request.FILES to get any media file(forgot to mention this)
request.FILES.get('image')
and to get the image from media use .url
{% Profileobject.image.url %}
