Uploading Files in Django

To allow users to upload files through forms, you need to handle both the form and the file storage in your settings.

1. Model with FileField:

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    avatar = models.ImageField(upload_to='avatars/')

2. Form for File Upload:

class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = ['avatar']

3. Handling File Upload in Views: In views.py, modify the view to handle the uploaded file:

   def upload_profile(request):
       if request.method == 'POST' and request.FILES:
           form = ProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
           if form.is_valid():
               form.save()
               return redirect('profile')
       else:
           form = ProfileForm()
       return render(request, 'upload_profile.html', {'form': form})
