20270	bug in ajax example	tejinderss@…	nobody	"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/class-based-views/generic-editing/#ajax-example

This example does not work with CreateView or UpdateView because the form_valid overriding never saves the form and neither does it call its super class which does. So in order for CreateView to create new object, we would either have to add:

    def form_valid(self, form):
        if self.request.is_ajax():
            '''self.object = form.save()'''
            data = {
                'pk': form.instance.pk,
            }
            return self.render_to_json_response(data)
        else:
            return super(AjaxableResponseMixin, self).form_valid(form)

Or somehow call the super form_valid and then return the HttpResponse."	Bug	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed		bmispelon@…	Accepted	1	0	0	0	1	0
