As an option, you can pass a request.user to form's __init__ method from your view. Example:
class YourForm(forms.ModelForm): def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs): self.user = user super(YourForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) # here you can modify any self.fields depends on your user in view def your_view(request): form = YourForm(request.user, request.POST) On Thu, Apr 21, 2011 at 5:10 PM, Szabo, Patrick (LNG-VIE) < patrick.sz...@lexisnexis.at> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I want to filter the dropdownlists that are automatically used to select a > foreign-key in forms (in my views). > > Normally that could easily be done with „class Meta“ in the Modelform. > > Thing is i want to filter by an attribute of the current user….specificly > the groups that the user is assigned to. > > > > So how do i do that ?! > > Can i acces request.user in the models somehow ?! > > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
