Upload File in Django (not working) - django

Question

I am creating a bulletin here containing threads. Each thread includes one image and then the thread can be extended with posts.
It's like 4chan.
The models isn't saved in the database. I followed this answer to create an file upload example.
The forum app contains a simple file upload example and the upload objects do get saved there.
Codebase (github)

from django.conf.urls import url, include
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^create_post/(?P<thread_id>[0-9]+)/$', views.create_post, name='create_post'),
url(r'^create_thread/$', views.create_thread, name='create_thread'),
]
Views
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from . import models
from . import forms
def index(request):
threads = models.Thread.objects.all()
thread_form = forms.Thread()
post_form = forms.Post()
return render(request, 'chan/index.html',{
'threads':threads,
'thread_form':thread_form,
'post_form':post_form,
})
def create_post(request, thread_id):
form = forms.Post(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
post = Post(
text=request.POST['text'],
document=request.FILES['document'],
thread=models.Thread.get(pk=thread_id),
)
post.save()
return redirect('chan:index')
def create_thread(request):
form = forms.Thread(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
thread = Thread(
text=request.POST['text'],
document=request.FILES['document']
)
thread.save()
return redirect('chan:index')
I've been on this for hours now checking for anything that I might've missed.

Honestly I have no idea what's you are trying to do. But when I look into that repo the hole thing is messed up. I have a few questions for you...
Why you don't have __init__.py? ( hole repo doesn't have, not good )
Best practise:
Place init.py file and call the module with from module import something
Why you don't have action attribute ?
You have url={% ...} but you should have action={%...}
