  • Why are you using `ListView`? You should use` CreateView` instead. –  Oct 26 '21 at 02:39
  • You forgot to include `action` in form tag –  Oct 26 '21 at 16:11
  • @bichanna ive changed to CreateView. It didnt work though. Ive realised the problem is with the Image. when i use only the name field in the form, it saves successfully. BUt when i add the imagefield, thats when it keeps returning invalid form. Any help with that please? – Yaw Otuo Oct 27 '21 at 15:51

easiest method is to building a html form and saving data into Model by post method.

Using of ModelForm just makes it difficult.

If you use below code, It works perfectly

class IndexView(generic.ListView):
    template_name = "takyi1/index.html"
    model = Dog
  
    def post(self, request):
        self.model(name=request.POST['name'],
                   dog_pic=request.POST['dog_pic']).save( )
        return HttpResponse('Valid Form')
