Thanks. I think I figured out how to do this with a straight createView.
class BookCreate(CreateView):
model = Book
form_class = BookForm
template_name = 'book_template.html'
success_url = u'/dp/thanks'
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = None
form_class = self.get_form_class()
author = Author.objects.get(id=self.kwargs['author_id'])
formset = BookFormset(instance=author)
return self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(formset=formset))
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = None
form_class = self.get_form_class()
author = Author.objects.get(id=self.kwargs['author_id'])
formset = BookFormset(request.POST,request.FILES,instance=author)
if formset.is_valid():
formset.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('dp:thanks'))
def form_valid(self, formset):
context = self.get_context_data()
book_formset = context['formset']
if book_formset.is_valid():
# self.object = book_formset.save()
book_formset.instance = self.object
book_formset.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(self.get_success_url())
else:
return
self.render_to_response(self.get_context_data(formset=book_formset))
