It's the same thing.
Lets say this is your view:
def x_edit(request, x_id):
x = X.objects.get(id = x_id)
if x.user != request.user:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/you cant edit that/')
if request.method == 'POST':
form = XForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
#whatever you need to do to save an x object here
return HttpResponseRedirect('/thanks/')
else:
form = XForm()
return render_to_response('x_edit.html', {
'form': form,
})
You can split that into multiple views if you want, but the idea is to
do the check before saving the object.
