I'm not sure what you mean - can you give a code snippet?
others have done this better than me:
http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2006/11/16/django-tips-get-most-out-generic-views
I somtimes do:
if request.POST:
post - request.POST.copy()
post[ 'some_field' ] = my_value
request.POST = post
return update_object( request, ..... )
I'm currently using a custom view because the form is on a page with
a bunch of other stuff. It's primarily a list of existing objects,
filtered by the current user, with a form for adding a new one.
Perhaps this can still be done with a generic view.
I currently have a view that contains, amongst other things:
if request.method == "POST":
new_data = request.POST.copy()
errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data)
if not errors:
manipulator.do_html2python(new_data)
new_object = manipulator.save(new_data)
...
...
But I can't see how I can inject the user in here unless I do
something like: write a custom manipulator that doesn't have the
requirement for the user foreign key and then pass in the user
somehow into the manipulator (via new_data?)
forget about manipulators, they are dead, use newforms, its cooler ;)
