others have done this better than me: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/11/16/django-tips-get-most-out-generic-views I somtimes do: if request.POST: post - request.POST.copy() post[ 'some_field' ] = my_value request.POST = post return update_object( request, ..... )
I'm currently using a custom view because the form is on a page with a bunch of other stuff. It's primarily a list of existing objects, filtered by the current user, with a form for adding a new one. Perhaps this can still be done with a generic view. I currently have a view that contains, amongst other things: if request.method == "POST": new_data = request.POST.copy() errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data) if not errors: manipulator.do_html2python(new_data) new_object = manipulator.save(new_data) ... ... But I can't see how I can inject the user in here unless I do something like: write a custom manipulator that doesn't have the requirement for the user foreign key and then pass in the user somehow into the manipulator (via new_data?)
forget about manipulators, they are dead, use newforms, its cooler ;)
