You can use modelForm.
for example in you form.py file, you can do something like this:
class addstaff(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model =new_staff
fields =('first_name', 'last_name', 'gender', 'date_of_birth')
and in your view.py you do something like this:
def newstaff(request):
if request.POST:
form =addstaff(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render_to_response("successful.html")
else:
form =addstaff
args={}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form']=form
return render_to_response('addnewstaff.html', args)
Cheers
