Django 'PictureForm' object has no attribute 'save' - django

Question

I'm trying to add a new feature to my existing app that let users create a profile and upload a pictures of their pets.
When a user login , he gets redirected into the profile which display his name and also he can add a picture of himself into the model which will get displayed on the profile page.
At the moment , I can retrieve the name into the template but I can't seem to display the user's name and upload picture at the same time.
Whenever I click Add picture , It doesn't let the user upload a picture instead I get this error
'PictureForm' object has no attribute 'save'
pet = form.save(commit =False) ...
I could design the page to let the user upload a picture but not display the name at the same time.
I think the problem lays in my profile.html and Profile function at views.py
Parts of my views.py
#login_required
def Profile(request):
Person = request.user.get_profile()
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/login/')
if request.method == "POST":
form = PictureForm(request.POST ,request.FILE or None)
if form.is_valid():
pet = form.save(commit =False)
pet.save()
context = (
{'Person': Person} ,
{'form':PictureForm()}
)
return render_to_response('profile.html', context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
Parts of my forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.forms import ModelForm
from pet.models import *
class PictureForm(forms.Form):
class Meta:
model = Person
fields = ('image')
My profile.html
{% if Person %}
<ul>
<li>Name : {{Person.name}} </li>
</ul>
{% endif %}
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" "action" >
{% csrf_token %}
<ul>
{{ form.as_ul }}
</ul>
<input type = "submit" value= "Add Picture" />
</form>
My models.py
from django.db import models
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Person(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
image = models.FileField(upload_to="images/",blank=True,null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.name
class Pet(models.Model):
Person = models.ForeignKey(Person)
description = models.CharField(max_length=100)
image = models.FileField(upload_to="images/",blank=True,null=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return self.description

Answer 1

PictureForm needs to inherit from forms.ModelForm, not forms.Form.

Answer 2

Erase your form.save(commit=False). You will only do that if you override your save method
#login_required
def Profile(request):
Person = request.user.get_profile()
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/login/')
if request.method == "POST":
form = PictureForm(request.POST ,request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
context = (
{'Person': Person} ,
{'form':PictureForm()}
)
return render_to_response('profile.html', context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
UPDATE:
[.....]
board = Board.objects.get(board=picture.board)//remove this
the_id = board.id //remove this
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('world:Boat', kwargs={'animal_id': picture.board.id })) // change the_id into picture.board.id

Answer 3

You have a typo. It should be request.FILES.

Answer 4

no buddy. your problem is in your model.py:
just add this function to your model
def save(self,*args, **kw):
super(PictureForm,self).save(*args, **kw)
