Welcome to the mailing list. I've never done this myself, but a bit of
Googling leads me to believe that you need to define your own
UserProfileEdit form class, instead of letting UpdateView automatically
create the form for you. This will allow you to use the FileInput widget
and avoid the extraneous text (generated by the default widget for
ImageField). Said form could look similar to this:
### forms.py ####
from django import forms
from .models import UserProfile
class UserProfileEditForm(forms.ModelForm):
mugshot = forms.ImageField(required=False, widget=forms.FileInput)
class Meta:
fields = ["mugshot"] # add other fields here, in the order you
want them to be displayed
model = UserProfile
Then import and reference your new form:
### views.py ###
from .forms import UserProfileEditForm
class ProfileUpdate(UpdateView):
form_class = UserProfileEditForm
...

Hope this helps,
Jonathan
