This generic view displays a list of objects and a simple ModelForm to add a new | |
object to the list. | |
Just subclass this view and override the attributes and methods that you need. You | |
will probably need to override at least 'model', 'form_class' and 'success_url'. | |
See the documentation of the used mixins and ProcessFormView in | |

wouldn't it be better to delegate the

call toget
?
