Question

I get “This field is required” error for image field on submitting a form in Form Wizard.

class SignupForm(forms.ModelForm):
    username = forms.CharField(
        label = _("Username*"),
        max_length = 30,
        widget = forms.TextInput()
    )
    image = forms.ImageField(label = _("Profile picture*"), required=True)
class Meta:
    model = Profile
    fields = ('name','gender','birth_date',)

This is my last form in form wizard. On submitting this form I got username and other fields in clean method but not the image. Is there a way to save image before validation of this form to avoid “This field is required” error?

To upload your images through Form Wizard you should change the file “django/contrib/formtools/wizard.py”. These changes are mentioned in this Ticket code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7439. If you dont want to change djnago code then simply copy “formtools” folder into your apps then make changes there and instead of using:

from django.contrib.formtools.wizard import FormWizard

use:

from formtools.wizard import FormWizard

Also set enctype=”multipart/form-data” of your template form.
