image not updating in django from form post request

Question

I am trying to edit an object through the form

All fields are edited but the image field does not change

What is the problem?

model created with signals when user create account

template

 <div> <form action="{% url 'user:profile' %}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> {% csrf_token %} {{form}} <input type="submit" value="submit"> </form> </div>

model

class Profile(models.Model): CHOICES = ( ('RE', 'مشاور املاک'), ('S', 'فروشنده'), ) user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) real_estate = models.OneToOneField(Business , related_name='business' ,on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True , null=True) image = models.ImageField(blank=True) type_of_user = models.CharField(max_length=300, choices=CHOICES) phone_number = PhoneNumberField(unique = True, null = False, blank = False)

form

class ProfileForm(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Profile fields = ['type_of_user' , 'phone_number' , 'image']

views

def profile(request): profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) if request.method == 'POST': form = ProfileForm(request.POST , instance=profile) profile = form.save(commit=False) profile.user = request.user profile.save() redirect('busi:index') else: form = ProfileForm() context = { 'profile':profile, 'form':form } return render(request , 'user/profile.html' , context)

image is a type of file so you have to request files while requesting forms to be saved

def profile(request): profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) if request.method == 'POST': form = ProfileForm(request.POST , request.FILES, instance=profile) profile = form.save(commit=False) profile.user = request.user profile.save() redirect('busi:index') else: form = ProfileForm() context = { 'profile':profile, 'form':form } return render(request , 'user/profile.html' , context)

also seems that you did not write a path for image to be stored in your model

class Profile(models.Model): CHOICES = ( ('RE', 'مشاور املاک'), ('S', 'فروشنده'), ) user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) real_estate = models.OneToOneField(Business , related_name='business' ,on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True , null=True) image = models.ImageField(blank=True, upload_to='profile_pics') type_of_user = models.CharField(max_length=300, choices=CHOICES) phone_number = PhoneNumberField(unique = True, null = False, blank = False)

create folder name it as you want in media folder and code it there where image can be stored so django can look up for your image in that folder
