I've created a form with an image upload in Django. It works on my local machine but something must be misconfigured on the server? When I submit the form it just reloads a blank form and nothing is entered into the database. My settings file:
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
My View
def add_book_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AddBookForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('books:book_list')
else:
form = AddBookForm()
return render(request, 'settings/add_book.html', {'form' : form})
My form
<form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-font">
Title:
</div>
<input class="settings-form-input" type="text" name="title" maxlength="256"
required="" id="id_title">
