This post is outdated now – if you’re using the latest django, do not follow this post.

It is quite helpful for 0.96, however

Looks a little different for the latest version of DJANGO... or whichever one I have in svn...

They now check the images for you (tested it) So you can avoid the cool hack.
In order to access the filename and content, treat them as fields, ie:

change:

t.save_photo_file(photo['filename'], photo['content'])

to:

t.save_photo_file(photo.filename, photo.content)

Nonetheless, great post! -- I was searching for ages on making just basic photo uploading work through the new forms, and this is the only site that was helpful. Also, if your urls are screwed up after that... check out your settings file values for MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_URL, MEDIA_ADMIN - and play with those until it works (also whatever you have as 'upload_to' in your model for the ImageField)

[...] Django image upload and validation. The author uses a model for the file and its related data. The uploaded file is saved by calling the save_FOO_file method. (This method is automatically provided by Django for fields declared as models.ImageField or models.FileField in the model. See the db-api documentation.) [...]

@Priyesh: not at all. You can just call t.save() after modifying t.name

Would I need to add another save function after the “save_photo_file” function in order to save the t.name?
