Getting self.request.user for form cleaning

Hi I am using both FormMixin, and ListView. When validating the form I need the users id. How can I get that into the form for cleaning? I am presuming somehow using get_form and then using the form's init to grab it, but am unsure of the syntax. Any ideas? Many thanks def post(self, request

For anyone else needing this: In form: def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): self.creator = kwargs.pop('creator', None) In view: form = PostForm(request.POST, creator=self.request.user.pk) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users"

Re: Getting self.request.user for form cleaning

If you're using FormMixin then you can also override get_form_kwargs: def get_form_kwargs(self): kwargs = super(MyForm, self).get_form_kwargs() kwargs['creator'] = self.request.user.pk return kwargs Then let FormMixin instantiate the form instance itself. On Wed, May 13, 2015 at 10:1

Thank you for your reply. I had previously tried that, but must have had the syntax wrong. Am now using get_form_kwargs() as it looks nicer. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving ema
