I've found that if you have a form which requires you to override the form_valid() method because you need to do custom logic before you save the model and you need to save the user ID of the person who posted the form you need to also override the post() method in order to pass on the correct data by manually adding it to the post argument of the form_valid() method by using request.user. Am I missing something here? Is there any easier way to achieve what I want to achieve? How about using self.request attribute? -rainy
Heh I don't know how I missed that. Thanks, that solves a couple of issues :).
I'm in the process of converting some old code to class based views and am still getting used to using them.
