Many files upload in ImageField form - django problem

Question

Hi!

My problem is simple. I have template like this:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data"
action="{% url offers.views.add_offer %}" method="post">    
    <input type="file" name="image1" />
    <input type="file" name="image2" />  
    <input type="submit" value="Add" />
</form>

Model looks like that:

class Image(models.Model):
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/images/offers/')

And forms like that (it uses model Image):

class ImageForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Image

And view like that:

    for f in request.FILES:
    # imageform:
        image = ImageForm(request.POST, f)
        image.save()

The problem is that I can't upload images. I want to save image in the two seperate instances od Image Model.
I have an error:

'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

Thanks for any help and response.

What makes you think that would work? You're iterating through request.FILES and attempting to instantiate a form on each iteration passing a file object. That's nothing like what's in the documentation, which tells you to pass the whole of request.FILES in.

Edited after comment Look, you haven't given us much information to go on. Does your model have one image or two? Why are you trying to handle the two images separately? Are you trying to create two separate model instances, or one with two images? What exactly are you trying to do?

Basically you just want to do this:

form = ImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
    form.save()

and that's it.

I make in views.py something like that:

for i in range(1, 2):
   image = ImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES['image%s' % i])

I have an error like that:

'InMemoryUploadedFile' object has no attribute 'get'

Anyone can help?

Man, Django Formsets is what you need:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/formsets/

Edited:

The view:

def manage_images(request):
    ImageFormSet = formset_factory(ImageForm)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        formset = ImageFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if formset.is_valid():
            # do something with the formset.cleaned_data
    else:
        formset = ImageFormSet()
    return render_to_response('manage_images.html', {'formset': formset})

The template:

<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{% url offers.views.add_offer %}" method="post">
    {{ formset.management_form }}
    <table>
        {% for form in formset.forms %}
        {{ form }}
        {% endfor %}
    </table>
</form>

here you'll find the docs for file upload.

I save my image in the form's save()-method like this:

def save(self): 
    if self.cleaned_data.get('galleryname'):
        if self.cleaned_data.get('images1'):

            path = 'images/'+ urlify(self.cleaned_data.get('galleryname'))+self.cleaned_data.get('images1').name
            destination = open(s.MEDIA_ROOT+path, 'wb+')
            for chunk in self.cleaned_data.get('images1').chunks():
                destination.write(chunk)
            p = Photo()
            p.picture="./"+path
            p.save()

and in the view I have

form = CompleteSubscriptionForm(request.POST, request.FILES, error_class=DivErrorList)
if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
        form.save()
