You didn't say what the new error is. Anyway, in your view, `name` is not in the namespace. Its just like doing this:
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug 1 2012, 05:16:07)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
>>>a = 1
>>>a + a
2
>>>a + b
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'b' is not defined
....which is exactly what you are doing with this line:
mall=Fin.objects.get(name)
In your situation, you are supposed to supply the name argument (and also the user argument. The primary key would be much better since it is unique for each record) so assuming in your form the client chose say 'Galleria' (and assuming you have a Fin object with a field name 'Galleria'), you should do something like:
mall = Fin.objects.get(name='Galleria', user=user)
Don't forget that .get() will throw an error if multiple objects fit the arguments supplied and if no object fits the arguments supplied. That said, it will be better if you supply a primary key as an argument since its very possible to have multiple Fin objects with exactly the same data contained in its fields.
Meanwhile, I can't find anywhere on your form definition that seems to be collecting 'name' for Fin.

Yeah, its a name of a field in my form. I want to the value
automatically since I don't know the name of the place the user will
choose. I tried adding your correction but i'm getting error.
