okay your first linked helped me...thank you ! I guess the documentaion is just too fragmented for me.
So now my view looks like this: def main(request): f = BuchungForm(request.POST) return render_to_response('main/index.html', {'user' : request.user, 'form' : f}) and my template looks like this: .. <form action="/main/" method="post">{% csrf_token %} {{ form.as_p }} <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> ... This gives me almost the form that i wanted. Now i did exclude certain fields in my form because i have to set them automaticaly. Eg. I have a field that's called Mitarbeiter. I want to set the field to the current user id so i've tried this: def main(request): f = BuchungForm(request.POST) buchung = f.save(commit=False) buchung.Mitarbeiter = 'request.user.id' buchung.save() return render_to_response('main/index.html', {'user' : request.user, 'form' : f}) but this gives me the following error: could not be created because the data didn't validate. It seems like as soon as i enter the site it tries co submit the data. Can i somehow stop that from hapening. ?! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
