Error with Django User : "AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'get' "

I've just started Django and Python 50 hours ago ;-) so this might be an easy one but I am stuck.

I am using similar 'create' view with similar Form implementation in my project with no problem. In this case, I get the above mentionned error.

I am using Pinax...

AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'get'

On line 23 of your views.py you are passing request.user as the first parameter to the instantiation of LocationForm.

The first parameter should be request.POST unless your form has overridden the __init__() method.
