Based on danjak's snippet but updated to use ModelForms - so can easily handle generic CRUD operations.
A replacement create_update.py for use with ModelForm
create_object and update_project modified to handle newforms (including FileFields) with ModelForm - it also had delete_object as well for completeness.
In addition, it has some extras:
- extra_fields - this is a dict or callable that contains additional fields to be passed to the form, for example stuff that is in the session.
- on_success - callback called if form is valid and object created/updated, if this is not set the default behaviour is to send a redirect
- on_failure - callback called if form is invalid, the default is to redisplay the form.
Note that once newforms are finally done these functions are likely to be redundant, as generic views will be updated to use the newforms API, so use with caution!

"""
Rewrites of create_object and update_object generic views, modified to use newforms.
Some other changes:
- extra_fields : this can be a dict, or callable returning a dict:
def extra_fields(request, object = None) (object passed to callable in update_object)
This allows passing in of non-form fields, for example the current user id, e.g.
extra_fields = { "author" : request.user }
- model_form - a ModelForm instance.
- on_success - callback called after successful save:
def on_success(request, form, object)
If on_success is not set, a redirect is returned
- on_failure - callback called if form is invalid:
def on_failure(request, form, object = None) (object passed to callable in update_object)
If on_failure is not set, form template is displayed with errors.
Example:
class Project(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(maxlength = 50)
description = models.TextField()
owner = models.ForeignKey(User, editable = False)
def add_project(request):
return create_object(request, Project, on_success = on_create_project,
extra_fields = {"owner" : request.user})
def on_create_project(request, form, project):
request.session["flash"] = "Project %s created!" %project.name
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
