copied!<p>If you want all the features of the generic view then you can just create a new generic view using the original as a template.</p> <p>Eg:</p> <pre><code>def create_object_with_initial(request, model=None, template_name=None, template_loader=loader, extra_context=None, post_save_redirect=None, login_required=False, context_processors=None, form_class=None, initial=None): if extra_context is None: extra_context = {} if login_required and not request.user.is_authenticated(): return redirect_to_login(request.path) model, form_class = get_model_and_form_class(model, form_class) if request.method == 'POST': form = form_class(request.POST, request.FILES) if form.is_valid(): new_object = form.save() msg = ugettext("The %(verbose_name)s was created successfully.") %\ {"verbose_name": model._meta.verbose_name} messages.success(request, msg, fail_silently=True) return redirect(post_save_redirect, new_object) else: print "creating", form_class, " with initial data ", initial form = form_class(initial=initial) # Create the template, context, response if not template_name: template_name = "%s/%s_form.html" % (model._meta.app_label, model._meta.object_name.lower()) t = template_loader.get_template(template_name) c = RequestContext(request, { 'form': form, }, context_processors) apply_extra_context(extra_context, c) return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) </code></pre> <p>This is copied from /site-packages/django/views/generic/create_update.py with only lines 3 and 21 changing to incorporate the initial data.</p> <p>Then use it as you might expect:</p> <pre><code>object_info = { 'model': YourModel, 'initial': {'data' : 'Initial Value'}, 'template_name': 'template.html' } url(r'^path/$', login_required(create_object_with_initial), object_info, name='url_name'), </code></pre> <p>That should work.</p>
