Error uploading images

[Lee Hinde]

Using django-storages to put user uploaded files on s3.

Uploading images in the shell works fine. So, I assume I've got django-storages and boto installed fine and S3 configured correctly.

Uploading in real-life, doesn't work. The error I get back is that the image field is required.

The model:

class PropertyPhotos(models.Model):
    property = models.ForeignKey(Property)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to="img")
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True)

The form:

class PhotoForm(forms.ModelForm):
    property_key = forms.CharField(required=False, widget=forms.HiddenInput())

    def __init__(self, property_key,  *args, **kwargs):
        super(PhotoForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.initial['property_key'] = property_key

    class Meta:
        model = PropertyPhotos
        fields = [ 'image', 'title']
        exclude = ['property', ]


The view:

class AddPhotos(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
    form_class = PhotoForm
    success_url = reverse_lazy('add_photos')
    template_name = 'photo_entry.html'
    model = PropertyPhotos

    def get_form_kwargs(self):
        kwargs = super(AddPhotos, self).get_form_kwargs()
        kwargs['property_key'] = self.kwargs.get('key')
        return kwargs

    def form_valid(self, form):
        photo = PhotoForm(self.request.POST, self.request.FILES)  # form.save(commit=False)
        url = form.cleaned_data['property_key']
        photo.property = Property.objects.get(url_uuid=url)
        photo.save()
        return super(AddPhotos, self).form_valid(form)

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(AddPhotos, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['property_key'] = self.kwargs.get('key')
        context['property_obj'] = Property.objects.get(url_uuid=self.kwargs.get('key'))
        return context

The form part of the template (mostly to show that the image input is within the form :

<form method="post" id="upload-form" action="." class="responsive-form card row">
    {{ form.errors }}
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form.property_key }}
    <h1>Add Photos for  - {{ property_obj.title }}</h1>
        {{ form.as_p }}

    <div class="col-md-12  form-option form-actions">
        <div class="col-md-12">
            <button name="submit" class="btn btn-default btn-block" value="Upload" id="submit" type="submit">
                Upload
            </button>
        </div>

    </div>
</form>

I'd appreciate a code review that will tell me which mis-placed semi-colon is causing my errors.

Thanks!

The typical problem is forgetting to add the 

enctype='multipart/form-data'

attribute to the form tag
