how to upload an image in comments? - django

Question

i have a small form in my blog detail view and it has a name,last name,email and an image field. the first three work fine but when i add the imagefield in the form, the form wont save from the page but it works from admin page.
this is my views.py:
def campaign_detail_view(request, id):
template_name = 'gngo/campaign-detail.html'
campaign = get_object_or_404(Campaign, id = id)
comments = CampaignForm.objects.filter(campaign=campaign).order_by('-id')
form = FormCamp(request.POST)
if request.method == 'POST':
if form.is_valid():
name = request.POST.get('name')
last = request.POST.get('last')
email = request.POST.get('email')
comment = CampaignForm.objects.create(campaign=campaign,name=name,last=last,email=email)
comment.save()
return redirect('campaign-detail',id=id)
else:
form = FormCamp()
context = {
'campaign':campaign,
'comments':comments,
'form':form,
}
context["object"] = Campaign.objects.get(id = id)
return render(request, template_name, context)
and this is my comment model:
class CampaignForm(models.Model):
campaign = models.ForeignKey(Campaign, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
last = models.CharField(max_length=100)
email = models.EmailField()
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images')
this is a non user form, so everyone can fill it. please help me understand how to add the ability to upload an image in this form
oh and this the form:
class FormCamp(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = CampaignForm
fields = ('name','last','email', 'image',)
THANKS ALOT FOR THE ANSWERS AND SUPPORTS

Answer 1

Instead of using the form to validate and then manually extracting the fields again, you should use the save method of your ModelForm and pass request.FILES to your form when creating it.
And as the campaign is not an editable field, it shall be added after creating the object.
def campaign_detail_view(request, id):
template_name = 'gngo/campaign-detail.html'
campaign = get_object_or_404(Campaign, id = id)
comments = CampaignForm.objects.filter(campaign=campaign).order_by('-id')
if request.method == 'POST':
form = FormCamp(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
campaign_form = form.save(commit=False)
campaign_form.campaign = campaign
campaign_form.save()
return redirect('campaign-detail',id=id)
else:
form = FormCamp()
context = {
'campaign':campaign,
'comments':comments,
'form':form,
}
context["object"] = Campaign.objects.get(id = id)
return render(request, template_name, context)

Try this:
def campaign_detail_view(request, id):
template_name = 'gngo/campaign-detail.html'
campaign = get_object_or_404(Campaign, id = id)
comments = CampaignForm.objects.filter(campaign=campaign).order_by('-id')
form = FormCamp(request.POST, request.FILES)
if request.method == 'POST':
if form.is_valid():
comment = form.save(commit=False)
comment = CampaignForm.objects.create(campaign=campaign,name=name,last=last,email=email)
comment = request.FILES['image']
comment.save()
return redirect('campaign-detail',id=id)
else:
form = FormCamp()
context = {
'campaign':campaign,
'comments':comments,
'form':form,
}
context["object"] = Campaign.objects.get(id = id)
return render(request, template_name, context)
class FormCamp(forms.ModelForm): to this;
class FormCamp(forms.Form):
Don't forget to add enctype=multipart/form-data in your form in template.
