Django : How to associate a user to a created post when post is created through a ModelForm
I created a normal Django posts app , which basically create a post and its content.
Now the thing is that I implemented the create post form as a modelform in forms.py .Now if it wasnt a modelform and just a html-form , I would have user request.POST.get('data')
But now when I used
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = (
'title',
'content',
'image',
)
Model.py
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
image = models.ImageField(null=True,blank=True)
content = models.TextField()
user = models.ForeignKey(User,on_delete=models.CASCADE,null=True)
Views.py
def create(request):
form = PostForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/home')
return render(request,'create.html',{'form':form})
How can I join a user to a created post

You can simply assign the user to the instance in between the two save functions:
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.user = request.user
instance.save()
