The problem is that the file data is not sent to the form. The other data in the model which has the ImageField is being sent to the form. So when the form is shown, if I leave the fileinput blank (I dont change the file, only change other fields), I get a validation error 'this field is required' on the fileinput. The code is here: class Photoform(ModelForm): class Meta: model = Photo fields = ('matter','photo','clss') @user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_anonymous()==False ,login_url="/web/ login/") @transaction.commit_on_success def addphoto(request,pageid=None,rank=None,id = None): """adds a photo and optional blurb to a page given the page id, rank """ brick = 'photo' # checkparams just returns the existing Photo object instance = checkparams(brick,pageid=pageid,rank=rank,id=id) if request.POST: if not instance: rnk = int(rank) +1 instance = Photo(page_id = pageid,rank=rnk) form =Photoform(request.POST,request.FILES,instance=instance) if form.is_valid(): if not id: adjustrank(pageid,rnk,True) f=form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/web/reviewpage/%d/' % int (f.page_id)) else: form = Photoform(instance=instance) t = loader.get_template('web/addbrickfile.html') c = Context( { 'request':request, 'form': form, }) return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) -- regards kg http://lawgon.livejournal.com http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss Conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
