Check this example, but they are using a customized form for models:
http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/chapter14/#cn176
If your form is not derived from your model, you'll want to explicitly
create the model object:
def yourview(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = YourForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
cd = form.cleaned_data
# assuming your html widgets have the same name as the
fields in your model and your pk increments automatically
your_model = YourModel(cr=cd['cr'], description=cd
['description'], file=cd['file'])
# the following line will save the data to the db
your_model.save()
