python - Django CreateView is not saving object -

i'm practicing django class-based-view basic blog application. reason, however, createview post model not saving post inside database.

models.py

class post(models.model):     user = models.foreignkey(user)     post_title = models.charfield(max_length=200)     post_content = models.charfield(max_length=500)     post_date = models.datetimefield('date posted') 

forms.py

class postform(forms.modelform):     class meta:         model = post         exclude = ('user', 'post_date') 

views.py

class postcreate(createview):     template_name = 'app_blog/post_save_form.html'     model = post     form_class = postform      def form_valid(self, form):         form.instance.user = self.request.user         form.instance.post_date = datetime.now()         return super(postcreate, self).form_valid(form) 

it displays content without generating error, when check admin page, post created createview not saved in database.. idea..??

thanks

one tip: don't use exclude when defining forms, use fields, more secure , recommended way it.

the redirect defined get_success_url method. if have in model method get_absolute_url createview redirect url, otherwise can override get_success_url in view.

using get_absolute_url:

class post(models.model):     user = models.foreignkey(user)     post_title = models.charfield(max_length=200)     post_content = models.charfield(max_length=500)     post_date = models.datetimefield('date posted')      @permalink     def get_absolute_url(self):         return ('myurlname', (), {'myparam': something_useful}) 

using get_success_url:

class postcreate(createview):     template_name = 'app_blog/post_save_form.html'     model = post     form_class = postform      def form_valid(self, form):         form.instance.user = self.request.user         form.instance.post_date = datetime.now()         form.save()         return super(postcreate, self).form_valid(form)      def get_success_url(self):         return reverse('myurlname', args=(somethinguseful,))
