I am on the exact same situation as the one described in the documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/class-based-views/mixins/#using-formmixin-with-detailview
I have followed the documentation but I get the following exception: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given) Request Method:GETRequest URL:http://localhost:8000/post/5144752345317376/Django Version:1.6.11Exception Type:TypeErrorException Value: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (3 given) Exception Location:...app/sitepackages/django/core/handlers/base.py in get_response, line 11 I think the only location where I might need something different is my urls.py... Here is the complete code: class PostView(BlogMixin,DetailView): """ A view for displaying a single post """ template_name = 'post.html' model = Post def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(PostView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) context['form'] = CommentForm() return context class PostDetailView(View): print "HERE ------------ " def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs): print "GET ------------ " view = PostView.as_view() return view(request, *args, **kwargs) def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): print "POST ------------ " view = PostComment.as_view() return view(request, *args, **kwargs) class PostComment( SingleObjectMixin , FormView): template_name = 'post.html' form_class = CommentForm model = Post def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): self.object = self.get_object() return super(PostComment, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs) def get_success_url(self): return reverse('post-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.object.pk}) class BlogMixin(object): """ Basic mixin for all the views.
