[ django model form is not displaying any errors ]
I am not getting any errors in the template. It just gives me back the form without error. Although the uploading function works fine, but if I don't give any input it doesn't give me any errors. How would I get the errors if there are in my template?
html:
{% block content %}
<form action="/{{ user.username }}/upload_photos/" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
{% endblock %}
views.py:
def upload_photos(request, user_name):
user = User.objects.get(username=unquote(user_name))
if request.method=='POST':
form = PhotoForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
forum = form.save(commit=False)
forum.user = user
forum.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/'+user.username+'/photos')
else:
form = PhotoForm()
return render(request, 'upload_photos.html',{'form':form})
else:
form = PhotoForm()
return render(request, 'upload_photos.html',{'form':form})

I've commented out the line that empties your form.
def upload_photos(request, user_name):
user = User.objects.get(username=unquote(user_name))
if request.method=='POST':
form = PhotoForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
forum = form.save(commit=False)
forum.user = user
forum.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/'+user.username+'/photos')
else:
# form = PhotoForm() Don't overwrite the submitted form.
return render(request, 'upload_photos.html',{'form':form})
else:
form = PhotoForm()
return render(request, 'upload_photos.html',{'form':form})
