I'm using the code below. This uploads the image file just fine. But,
in the database, the table field corresponding to the image field of
the model remains empty. Here < image=form.cleaned_data['image'],> is
happening before the save_FOO_file so I can understand that nothing
gets saved in the database. BUT, what do I need to do to save the path
of the uploaded image in the database column corresponding to the
model's ImageField.
---Code Begin---
def agencies_proactive_make(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AgencyProactiveMakeForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
new_agency =
Agency( short_name=form.cleaned_data['short_name'],
name=form.cleaned_data['name'],
contact_person=form.cleaned_data['contact_person'],
landline=form.cleaned_data['landline'],
mobile=form.cleaned_data['mobile'],
email=form.cleaned_data['email'],
address=form.cleaned_data['address'],
state=form.cleaned_data['state'],
image=form.cleaned_data['image'],
created_by=request.user,
is_active=True,)
new_agency.save_image_file(image.filename, image.content)
new_agency.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form = AgencyProactiveMakeForm()
variables = RequestContext(request, {'form': form})
return render_to_response('admin/agencies/proactive/
make.html',variables)
---Code End---
