request.FILES empty uploading image on Django

Question

Here is my HTML sending the request, printing request.FILES return <MultiValueDict: {}>. Also i would ask how can i save my charged picture (is ok to only form.save()?)

<form action="send_news" method="POST" encrypt="multipart/form-data">
    {% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }}
    <p>
        <label for="news_title">Your name: </label>
        <input id="news_title" type="text" name="news_title" value="newtitle">
    </p>
    <p>
        <label for="news_small_description">Your name: </label>
        <input name="news_small_description" id="news_small_description" value="news_small_description">
    </p>
    <p>
        <label for="news_description">Your name: </label>
        <input name="news_description" id="news_description" value="news_description">
    </p>

    <p>
        <label for="news_image">Your name: </label>
        <input id="news_image" type="file" class="" name="news_image">
    </p>

    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

printing request.FILES return <MultiValueDict: {}>. Also i would ask how can i save my charged picture (is ok to only form.save()?)

Did you add a file before hitting the submit button? Why do you extract all these elements from `cleaned_data`? — Willem Van Onsem, Jun 18 '18 at 15:45
Are you using a webserver in front of django that might be interfering with the posted data? — Tom Dalton, Jun 18 '18 at 15:50
@WillemVanOnsem yes i add a image before hitting the button. I extract all these elements becouse i need them to create my New object — Dev9977, Jun 18 '18 at 15:50
Are you able to see the image file/data being posted by your browser as part of the request (e.g. in the chrome dev tools)? — Tom Dalton, Jun 18 '18 at 15:52

The problem is you are using encrypt but you need to use enctype

e.g.

<form action="send_news" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">

See What does enctype='multipart/form-data' mean? for more info if needed.
