Hello James,
Following your advice I turned to using CreateView, and now all the
functionality I wanted seems to work fully. As you suggested there is no
need for a form.py using this method. When I got more time I might
investigate further how to make the original approach work for future
reference. This is the view code:
class PostDetailView(BlogMixin,CreateView):
""" A view for displaying a single post """
template_name = 'post.html'
model = Comment
fields = ['body','author_name']
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(PostDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['post'] = Post.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
return context
def form_valid(self, form):
obj = form.save(commit=False)
obj.parent_post = Post.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
obj.save()
return redirect('post-detail', self.kwargs['pk'])
