That's what I also figured.
I began trying to pass content_type and object_id as hidden fields to
the view. This didn't work (see code below), so I'm going to try to
use the content_type as a part of the url. But perhaps you can explain
why I can't use it in the form object?
views.vote:
def vote2(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = VoteForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_vote = form.save(commit=False) #This returns ValueError:
Cannot assign "u'12'": "Vote.content_type" must be a "ContentType"
instance.
new_vote.content_type =
ContentType.objects.get_for_id(form.cleaned_data['content_type'])
#This SHOULD work, right?
new_vote.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/news/1/') #To make dynamic once the
above code work
Thanks,
