model form not rendering in django template-CodePudding

My models.py and this is my model for photos.

       # home photo page
    class Photos(models.Model):
        photo_title = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)
        photo_description = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)
        photo_date = models.DateField(blank=False)
        photo_location = models.CharField(max_length=50, blank=False)
        photo_file = models.FileField(upload_to='photos', blank=False)
    
        def __str__(self):
            return self.photo_title

My forms.py this is the model form I made to render it as a form.

    class UploadPhotosForm(forms.Form):
    
        class Meta:
            model = Photos
            fields = '__all__'

my views.py these are my relavent imports and section I coded in view file.

from .forms import CampForm, ProjectForm, HikeForm, UploadPostsForm, UploadPhotosForm

    posts = UploadPostsForm()
    photo = UploadPhotosForm()

    print(photo.as_p())

here this code should print the form as text into console isn't it? But I don't have any console output. It seems like the nothing has been initialized to the photo variable isn't it? I do not have any clue what happened.

    context = {
        'title': 'manage_wall',
        'posts': posts,
        'photo': photo,
    }
    return render(request, 'manager/manage_wall.html', context)

My template

{% block content %}
<div >
    <div >
        <div >
            <form action="" method="post">
                {% csrf_token %}
                {{photo.as_p}}
                <input type="submit" value="Add">
            </form>
        </div>
        <div >
            <form action="" method="post">
                {% csrf_token %}
                {{posts.as_p}}
                <input type="submit" value=" Add">
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
{%endblock %}

As you can see here my photoForm is not rendering in the frontend can someone point out the mistake I have made not to render that form only while other forms are successfully rendering in the frontend. My Question is all other model forms rendered successfully why this is not displaying properly.

CodePudding user response：

Your UploadPhotosForm is inherited from forms.Form(...) class which does not contain model in Meta class so instead of inheriting from forms.Form class inherit from form.ModelForm(...)

here is final version of your code

 class UploadPhotosForm(forms.ModelForm):
     class Meta:
         model = Photos
         fields = '__all__'

CodePudding user response：

I found the answer in models.py it should be forms.ModelForm

class UploadPhotosForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
    model = Photos
    fields = '__all__'

it is not rendering unless it is a ModelForm
