To get a new object from a ModelForm you just save it, so the view
should be something like:
def uploadImage(request):
if request.method == 'POST': #if submitted
form = UploadNewImageForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
ir = form.save()
rw = ResourceWrapper(name = form.cleaned_data['name'])
rw.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/Main_page/') # Redirect after
POST
form.save() will put the image in the right place.
