Adding request user to a form save

gistfile1.py

class MyView(CreateView):
    model = Team

    def form_valid(self, form):
        self.object = form.save(commit=False)
        self.object.user = self.request.user
        self.object.save()
        return FormMixin.form_valid(self, form)

Great explanation. Thanks.

To avoid severe brain melt, I've backed off an am doing it the "easy" way first. I'll post that when I've got it done (probably tomorrow night). Then I can circle back to try and use CreateView again.

Even without CreateView, I think it's going to be pretty slim. Being able to use ModelForm and form.save(commit=False) makes things super nice.

Here's what I ended up with: https://gist.github.com/1674741
