User current user on new Django class views forms
I am using the django 1.3 on trunk, and start learning about class views.
I had this:
class Project(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=90)
slug = models.CharField(max_length=90)
description = models.TextField()
owner = models.ForeignKey(User)
class ProjectForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Project
exclude = ('owner',)
widgets = {
'description': Textarea(attrs={'cols': 40, 'rows': 20}),
}
class ProjectCreateView(CreateView):
model = Project
form_class = ProjectForm
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return super(ProjectCreateView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
return super(ProjectCreateView, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)
I 开发者_运维技巧am trying, to get a form using model forms from django excluding the owner field, to get the field value after with the request.user property.
The form as it is, works. But how can make sure the ModelForm use request.user for the Project.owner field?
My first guess, was to override get_form_kwargs method from the view
class ProjectCreateView(CreateView):
# .....
def get_form_kwargs(self, **kwargs):
self.initial['owner': self.request.user})
kwargs = super(ProjectCreateView, self).get_form_kwargs(**kwargs)
return kwargs
But seem to have no effect on the data used by the model form
get_form_kwargs
is supposed to return a dict
of arguments for your form - you set self.initial
, but you didn't attach it to kwargs
:
def get_form_kwargs(self, **kwargs):
kwargs = super(ProjectCreateView, self).get_form_kwargs(**kwargs)
kwargs['initial']['owner'] = self.request.user
return kwargs
