I've been throught this too :)
First of all, you need to use both {{ form.image}} and {{
form.image_file }}
this will create the hidden file and the file input field.
Also, if you forgot like I did, you need to put
enctype="multipart/form-data"
into the form tag.
Thirdly, in the view, do this:
if request.POST:
new_data = request.POST.copy()
new_data.update(request.FILES) # This has to be added
errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data)
if not errors:
new_message = manipulator.save(new_data)
Good luck, I hope this helps
