   % load i18n static widget_tweaks %

    form.media 
   
    <div class="col-lg-6 col-md-8 col-sm-12 col-xs-24">

    <label for="">description <span class="required">*</span></label>
    % if form.title.errors %
    % render_field form.description class="form-control ckeditor error" placeholder="Description" %
    <div class="error-msg show form-error">
    form.description.errors
    </div> 
    % else %
    % render_field form.description class="form-control ckeditor" placeholder="Description" %
    % endif % 
    </div>
    </div>
   

   
   

Question: I am not getting the POST value of description after form submit(in views.py). Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I found the solution.
Please put below script in your code.

 for (var i in CKEDITOR.instances) 
 CKEDITOR.instances[i].on('change', function() 
 CKEDITOR.instances[i].updateElement() );
 

This code will update the raw data of ckeditor in to related textarea.
Now on submit the form, you will get the data in POST.
