Thanks for your response. This is an off-topic question but I can't figure
out how to get 'request' working. I'm using the CreateView generic class,
so there's no space to insert 'request'. This is what my code looks like.
When I try to run it, it tells me that request is not found.
class ListingCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):
model = BuyerListing
form_class = PostListing(self.request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form_save = form.save(commit=False)
form_save.user = request.user # user is logged in
form.save()
def get_queryset(self): # the user want to edit this post must be
owner this post
post_qs = super(PostListing, self).get_queryset()
return post_qs.filter(user=self.request.user)
