If you want to pass extra information into a generic view that requires
some processing (as in this case), write a little view of your own that
does the processing and then passes off handling to the generic view:
def steves_update(request, model, location_id):
return create_object(model = model,
extra_context = {'location_id': location_id})
You'll need to import Conversation and the create_object() function
here, but then just call it as you have above (replace the
'django.views....' line with the path to your view function).
