Hello,
I am experimenting with the new class based views coming in 1.3 and am
having trouble figuring out when/where to put this code. I want to
populate a model's created_by field with the user of the current
request.
In the old views, I would have done something this:
obj = form.save(commit=False)
obj.created_by = request.user
obj.save()
Now I am using a generic CreateView class:
class ListCreateView(CreateView):
model = List
form_class = ListForm
I tried supplying an initial data dictionary by overriding
get_initial(), but this doesn't work because the `created_by` field
has editable=False so the form doesn't include it in the fields list.
Am I missing something simple? Probably :). Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
-Justin
