Hello James, The reason I am following this approach is because this is what was suggested in the documentation, for the scenario where you need to have a form within a DetailsView. Although even when I got my code to be identical to the documentation example, I still dont get an object created. Still, on form submit, the method get_success_url() of PostComment formview is called. I am currently using django 1.7.
