Question

I have a form with 11 fields and one image upload field. After filling in and hitting submit, I’m given a TypeError saying that an integer is required. this error doesn’t come up if i remove the imagefield. checking the image directory, the files are saved to the server before the error is thrown.

Forms.py:

class ListingForm(ModelForm):
    seller_email = forms.EmailField(max_length="", required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': "[e-mail]"}))  
    title = forms.CharField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"The Cat in the Hat"}))
    edition = forms.IntegerField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"5"}))
    author = forms.CharField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"Dr. Seuss"}))
    isbn = forms.CharField(label="ISBN", required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"9780717260591"}))
    price = forms.FloatField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'type':"number", 'placeholder':"50.00"}))
    classcode= forms.CharField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"MA115"}))
    #description = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextArea(attrs={'placeholder':"You should buy this because..."}))
    condition = forms.ChoiceField(required=True, widget=forms.Select(), choices=([(4,"New"), (3,"Good"), (2,"Fair"), (1,"Poor")]))
    seller_name = forms.CharField(required=True, widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"John Doe"}))
    seller_phone = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"[phone]"}))

    picture = forms.ImageField(widget=forms.FileInput('accept':"image/*"))
    #picture = forms.ImageField()
    uuid = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial=uuid.uuid4())
    timeposted = forms.CharField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial=datetime.now())
    sale_status = forms.BooleanField(widget=forms.HiddenInput(), initial=True)



    class Meta:
        model = Listing
        fields = ('seller_email', 'title', 'edition', 'author', 'isbn', 'price', 'classcode', 'description', 'condition', 'seller_name', 'seller_phone', 'picture', 'uuid', 'timeposted', 'sale_status')
        #exclude = ("uuid", "timeposted", "sale_status", "picture", "school")

Answer 1

In your settings.py script, you have this line:

FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS '0760'

It should not have quotes around it. You are trying to call os.chmod() with a string as the second argument when it expects an integer. Specifically, the octal permissions value. In python, numbers with a leading 0 are automatically considered to be octal values and are converted to integers. So, just use this line instead:

FILE_UPLOAD_PERMISSIONS = 0760

By the way, why aren’t you using equals signs in your settings.py?
