Dont be afraid to read django’s source code :P, the generic class has two methods: “get” and “post” (and “put” too, but it calls “post”) you can overwrite any of them if you need to.
class BaseCreateView(ModelFormMixin, ProcessFormView):
"""
Base view for creating an new object instance.
Using this base class requires subclassing to provide a response mixin.
"""
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = None
return super(BaseCreateView, self).get(request, *args, **kwargs)
def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
self.object = None
return super(BaseCreateView, self).post(request, *args, **kwargs)
but it also inherits the methods of it’s parents so it could be a little hard to read. I always check the docs for the generic views, it gives you a list of all the methods that you can overwrite on every generic class. Now you can overwrite all the methods you want without repeating code (that’s why I <3 CBV)
I think in your case you might want to overwrite the form_valid()
method to do something before redirecting to the success page
Hope this helps
