Question

I using Django and a generic view “django.views.generic.create_update.create_object”
I have a model form wich i pass to the generic view:

url(r'^add$', create_object, {'template_name':'tpl.html','form_class':MyModelForm,'post_save_redirect':'/'},name = 'add'),

I need to get current user in my ModelForm.save method..
But i can’t find way to get it, please help me to find convinient way?


class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):

class Meta:
    model = MyModel


def save(self,*a,**b):
    MyModel.save(user=request.user) #how can i get here request.user?

In common way the question is – how can i accsess request params in forms passed to generic view.

Answer 1

thnx this helps) I have some problems this syntax and _meta attr and i finished with this


def create_object_with_request(request, *args, **kwargs):

def inject_request(fun):

    def helper(*args, **kwargs):
        finst = fun(*args, **kwargs)
        finst.request = request
        return finst

    helper._meta = fun._meta
    return helper
kwargs['form_class'] = inject_request(kwargs['form_class'])
return create_object(request,*args, **kwargs)
