Re: Using FormMixin with DetailView

Thanks your your response. I have now gone past that problem and the form renders, although on submission of the form nothing happens. The 'POST -----' string is printed, which means I am on the right track, but no new object is created. I tried to simplify the comment form (remove the FK and the method override) in case there was a problem with that code, but I still dont get a comment created. Here is the current state of the code:

class CommentForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Comment
        exclude = ("parent_post","created_at")


    def save():
        print "IN VIEW"
        if request.method == "POST":
            parent_fk = self.object
            print "PARRENT"
            print parent_fk
            form = CommentForm(request.POST)
            if form.is_valid():
                new_comment = form.save(commit=False)
                new_comment.parent_post = parent_fk
                new_comment.save()
                return HttpResponseRedirect(request.META.get('HTTP_REFERER'))


class PostView(DetailView):
    """ A view for displaying a single post """
    template_name = 'post.html'
    model = Post
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(PostView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['form'] = CommentForm()
        return context
   
class PostDetailView(View):


    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        view = PostView.as_view()
        return view(request, *args, **kwargs)


    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        view = PostComment.as_view()
        return view(request, *args, **kwargs)


class PostComment(  SingleObjectMixin , FormView):
    template_name = 'post.html'
    form_class = CommentForm
    model = Post


    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        print "POST ----"
        self.object = self.get_object()
        return super(PostComment, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)


    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse('post-detail', kwargs={'pk': self.object.pk})




    url(r'^post/(?P<pk>[\d]+)/$', views.PostDetailView.as_view(), name="post-detail"),
