General Feedback: It would be better to show the function through which the template is called where you were displaying the form.

[@stevemulcahy5014]

This is great! What is the best way to handle multiple images though? I don't really want to restrict the amount of images, but kind of hate hard coding in image1...image4 in my posts model. One other thing I've been using is imagekit to resize the image to something web friendlier and even for the header image to make a banner image. I'm a devops engineer (with a history of ops rather than dev) and your videos are helping me understand - and be inspired by - django and Python.

I have watched this tutorial a dozen times at this point. I have followed each step but the images do not seem to be uploading to the database. I need help!!

[@Codemycom]

Don't know what to tell you...you skipped something.

[@anthonyfortunes5136]

What if u want to use url field instead of image field. is it the same process?

[@Codemycom]

pretty much

[@stelity]

what if you don't want to use {{ form.as_p }} and want to do a custom form? What would you type in the html and views.py?

[@PhillyEastSide]

Hey, not sure if you have found a way around it yet. But I had a similar issue and I fixed it by doing the following in my .HTML template file: Title of route:{{ form.title }} Tags:{{ form.title_tag }} Country where crag/route can be found: {{ form.country }} Climbing grade(French system):{{ form.grades }} Route guide/Beta:{{ form.body }} I am building a blog for rock climbing and I wanted to add a bit more explanation for the required fields. so instead of calling {{form.as_p}} you just use {{form.x}} (x being = whatever you called the 'field' in your forms.py). You will just have to make sure you use the correct field name you used and create the form field by field. If there is an easier way around this, Please let me know! I am still quite new to the Dev game.

[@azarsirdash]

thank you for the video, I watched and applied step by step , but the picture doesn't save from the form in templated but in the admin page can save image and finally . The solution: add request.FILES in the views.py file. in place form = CreatePostForm (request.POST)

[@Ian-bb7vv]

hey John, thank you for all the wonderful videos that you made, i really benefit a lot from them. But i think whren you are going to do the code in views.py, you need to use form = whateverform(request.POST, request.FILES) instead of just rquest.POSTright?

[@Codemycom]

what makes you say that?

[@Ian-bb7vv]

im thinking maybe the request.POST does not include image files? BTW im sending .jpg files in this project.

im still learning so not sure why that is happening though

[@animeshsingh4290]

Quick Solution for anyone who is able to upload the file in the form but the image does not show up. In your views.py, whatever functions is handling the form validity. Add request.FILES to the form for it to work. def create(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = listingForm(request.POST, request.FILES) ....

The image is displayed normally on the post where it was uploaded but displays when clicking on other blog posts that do not yet have the image. I made sure to add null, and blank = True in the models.py and if {% post.header_image %} in details.html. Any ideas what else could be causing trouble? Thanks!

Good day sir, I watched your video over and over again, still my media folder/directory doesn't appear. When I go to the django admin, it shows the image file name, but when I click on it, it says "'...\media\FB_IMG.jpg' does not exist". How can I solve this sir? Please notice me

[@Codemycom]

Add this to your settings.py file: import os

[@dradrigapatrick]

I think the new version of django doesnt use os.path() anymore bacuase when i use it, i get the same error, use this and see MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = BASE_DIR / 'media' STATICFILES_DIRS = ( BASE_DIR / 'static', ) and in url.py (root) use this option if settings.DEBUG: # new urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) instead of adding a + infront of the existing urlpatterns . Its same thing but when i used it, i ran into a crsf_token error. Hope this helps out. Otherwise the best

@@dradrigapatrick it doesn't. you need to add this to your settings.py file: import os

[@TechWithSabri]

Hi Sir; I hope you are doing very well first of all, thank you so much for: Time. Effort. Simplicity. Discipline. And when i'm watching your videos, a question came to my mind: Why you don't use an editor like PyCharm or Visual Studio. What is special for Sublime text? Again, thank you. I will text you when i finish this Tutorial We love you

[@Codemycom]

Sublime text is free, easy to use, requires no configuration, and always works. Those other tools don't always work, require configuration, and can be impossible for newer coders to figure out.

what if multiple image?

[@viswamberprasad9418]

I was coding along with this video,but for some reason,my image wouldnt be uploaded in Django. when i checkd in the admin section,it always showed 'no files chosen',i checked every line of code again,rewatched the video,but couldnt get around the error,later after surfing the net for a while,i have found the solution. If you are facing the same error,then please change your views.py file when you create an instance of the form in your views.py file,accept it as form=ExampleForm(request.POST,request.FILES) the request.FILES is important. John kindly pin this comment,or add a comment yourself,to help those who are scratching their heads,trying to solve this issue,like I did
