copied!<p>The other route to doing this is to put the save behaviour on the form itself.</p> <pre><code>class NewPostForm(forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = BlogPost fields = ('title', 'post_body') def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.user = kwargs.pop('user') super(NewPostForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def save(self): obj = super(NewPostForm, self).save(commit=False) obj.user = self.user obj.pub_date = timezone.now() obj.save() return obj </code></pre> <p>This nicely encapsulates the logic in a more reusable way outside of the view.</p> <p>You'd need to override <code>get_form_kwargs</code> on the view to pass the user in, or use the <code>UserFormKwargsMixin</code> class from <a href="https://github.com/brack3t/django-braces" rel="nofollow"><code>django-braces</code></a> in order to ensure <code>user</code> gets passed by the view when initializing the form.</p> <p>Note that <a href="https://github.com/brack3t/django-braces" rel="nofollow"><code>django-braces</code></a> also provides a <code>UserKwargModelFormMixin</code> that you can use on the form instead of overriding <code>__init__()</code>. If you take the braces approach, you'd end up with something like this:</p> <p><strong>forms.py</strong>:</p> <pre><code>class NewPostForm(UserKwargModelFormMixin, forms.ModelForm): class Meta: model = BlogPost fields = ('title', 'post_body') def save(self): obj = super(NewPostForm, self).save(commit=False) obj.user = self.user obj.pub_date = timezone.now() obj.save() return obj </code></pre> <p><strong>views.py</strong>:</p> <pre><code>class NewPostView(UserFormKwargsMixin, generic.edit.CreateView): model = BlogPost form_class = NewPostForm </code></pre>
