Re: Question about form_valid: how to automatically set multiple fields when users input data via CreateView supported form?

Sorry, when I make a comment, I get this error.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Here is what I want to do.
I am making a simple blog.
I am making simple features:
1) only superuser can create articles.
2) logged-in users can make comments to articles.

I followed along tutorials and mostly done.
But last thing I want to do is that when users make comments to any articles, I want author field and article field to be automatically set.
Currently, users need to choose author field and article field to make comments as well as comment texts.

The tutorial that I followed along uses form_valid and by using form_valid, now I don't need to choose author.
But I have been struggling with how to automatically set article field by using form_valid.

I have a simple models.py and views.py below.

<models.py>

class Article(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
body = models.TextField()
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(
get_user_model(),
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
)

def __str__(self):
return self.title

def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('article_detail', args=[str(self.id)])

class Comment(models.Model): # new
    article = models.ForeignKey(
    Article,
    on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    related_name = 'comments',
    )
    comment = models.CharField(max_length=140)
    author = models.ForeignKey(
        get_user_model(),
        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    )

    def __str__(self):
        return self.comment

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse('article_list')

<views.py>
...(not showing all)
#for comment
class ArticleCommentCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
model = Comment
template_name = 'article_comment_new.html'
fields = ('comment',)
login_url = 'login'

def form_valid(self, form):
form.instance.author = self.request.user
form.instance.article = self.request.article
return super().form_valid(form)

I keep getting errors with this code.
I know that form.instance.article = self.request.article is something wrong, but I am having hard time to figure out how to set article field to be automatically set.


Please give any advice about this.
I really appreciate.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone.

Best regards,

Nori
