Django Help: Resolving NOT NULL Constraint Failed Error With CreateView

I am new to stackoverflow, python and Django, have a question on the '(NOT NULL constraint failed: sixerrapp_gig.user_id)' error I am getting when i click submit on the form. Pret

Solution 1:

You need to handle that in form_valid() method of the view.

class CreateGig(CreateView):
    model = Gig    
    fields = ['title','category','description','price','photo','status']

    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.instance.user = self.request.user
        return super(CreateGig, self).form_valid(form)
