Taggit doesn't seem to save tags on model creation.

[Anthony Roberts]

Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but when I create a new instance of a model with a tags field, it doesn't save the tags on creation.

I'm creation articles, and adding tags, like so:

models.py:

class Article(models.Model):    

    title = models.CharField(max_length=100, verbose_name="Headline")

    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=100, unique=True)

    text = models.CharField(max_length=10000)

    # etc.

    tags = TaggableManager(blank=True)

    def __unicode__(self):

        return self.title

views.py:

def add_article(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':

        form = ArticleForm(request.POST, request.FILES or None)

        if form.is_valid():

            article = form.save(commit=False)

            article.author = request.user

            article.save()

            msg = "Article saved successfully"

            messages.success(request, msg, fail_silently=True)

            return redirect(article)

    else:

        form = ArticleForm()

    return render_to_response('story/article_form.html', 

                                           { 'form': form },

                                           context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Thank you.

I am currently having the same problem. Would appreciate an update.

I have looked at the link posted by Florian Apolloner. It didn't help me.
