django using form as a context and saving it with current user

Question

I'm making a forum kind of site where a patient can ask a question to doctors. And I'm confused about some idea. Here is my Question model:

class Question(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    title = models.CharField(max_length=120)
    description = models.TextField()
    category = models.ForeignKey('Category')
    answers = models.ManyToManyField('Answer',related_name='answer_name', blank=True)
    post_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    published = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    vote = models.IntegerField() # Field that denotes the no of vote for particular question

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.title

I have created a form for asking question and that works well. What I want is that in the detail view of the question there would be the answer.

Here is my model and view for answer:

class Answer(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    question = models.ForeignKey(Question)
    ans_body = models.TextField()
    comments = models.ManyToManyField('Comment',related_name='answer_name', blank=True)
    count = models.IntegerField()
    post_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.ans_body

And view is:

class QuestionDetailView(DetailView):
    context = {}
    model = Question
    form_class = AnswerCreationForm
    template_name = "question-detail.html"

    def get(self, request, pk, **kwargs):

        self.pk = pk
        print self.pk

        return super(QuestionDetailView, self).get(request, pk, **kwargs)

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(QuestionDetailView,self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['question'] = Question.objects.get(pk=self.pk)
        context['form'] = AnswerCreationForm

        return context

Here I have passed context as form. I have created the form too and the fields are user , question and ans_body .

Now I want to save the ans_body , set user to the current user and question to the same question in detail view.

I'm stucked. I don't know what I'm doing is right. Is there any better solution?? Thanks in advance

You can override the save method of form, it similar to the models save method eg.

def save(self, commit=True, **kwargs):
    user = kwargs.pop('user')
    self.user = user
    super(Classname, self).save(commit=True)
