I wanted to add the ID of the current user (request.user.id) into an
object automatically. So I was looking for a way to change the behavior
of the default admin-interface for that object.
My solution now is to extend the add-view of that object. I changed the
urlpatterns to include
(r'^admin/web/veranstaltungen/add/$',
'ay.apps.web.views.add_Veranstaltung')
and then implemented
def add_Veranstaltung(request):
import django.contrib.admin.views.main as main
if request.POST:
c = request.POST.copy()
c['autor'] = request.user.id
request.POST = c
return main.add_stage(request, app_label='web',
module_name='veranstaltungen')
'autor' is the attribute referencing auth.users. The corresponding line
in the model is
autor = meta.ForeignKey(auth.User, blank=True, verbose_name='Autor')
This works fine. BUT I'd rather have the field not displayed at all,
i.e. set "editable=False" in the model. THEN the default AddManipulator
(?) does not consider the autor-field, though, i.e. the value is
missing from the generated SQL (if my 'research' is correct).
So I am looking for a way that makes it possible for me to set
"editable=False" and still get the value into the SQL.
Could anyone help me out here? Maybe there is already some other,
better solution?
best regards
Steffen
