Hej, I am just beginning to learn Django and I want my users to be able to upload a profile picture, so I extended the User model with a Profile model, however, so far I have not figured out how to make the image upload non-mandatory. And when the user has added a picture, I would like them to be able to remove it as well.
Screenshot - Not able to Submit without adding file
Screenshot - Not able to remove the added file
models.py
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
bio = models.TextField()
profile_image = CloudinaryField('profile_image')
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
forms.py
class ProfileForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ('bio', 'profile_image',)
views.py
@login_required(login_url='login')
def createPost(request):
form = PostForm()
if request.method == "POST":
form = PostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
# request.FILES necessary so that file is submitted
# also required to add enctype to the form
if form.is_valid():
post = form.save(commit=False)
post.author = request.user
post.save()
return redirect('home')
context = {'form': form}
return render(request, 'my8gag/post_form.html', context)
Couldn't find anything about this in the documentation or here on SO, so would appreciate any kind of help/hints! Thanks in advance.
Allow the field to be null
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
bio = models.TextField()
profile_image = CloudinaryField('profile_image', null=True, default=None, blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
