Re: Using FormMixin with DetailView

Hello James,

Following your advice I turned to using CreateView, and now all the functionality I wanted seems to work fully. As you suggested there is no need for a form.py using this method. When I got more time I might investigate further how to make the original approach work for future reference.  This is the view code:

class PostDetailView(BlogMixin,CreateView):
    """ A view for displaying a single post """
    template_name = 'post.html'
    model = Comment
    fields = ['body','author_name']
    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(PostDetailView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['post'] =  Post.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
        return context
   
    def form_valid(self, form):
        obj = form.save(commit=False)
        obj.parent_post = Post.objects.get(pk=self.kwargs['pk'])
        obj.save()

       return redirect('post-detail', self.kwargs['pk'])
