Moved it to admin.py but it ignores the auto_now parameters (leaving timestamps blank) and doesn't populate the created_by/updated_by fields either:
class AuditAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): created = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True) created_by = models.CharField(blank=True,max_length=20) updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True) updated_by = models.CharField(blank=True,max_length=20) def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change): if change: obj.updated_by = request.user else: obj.created_by = request.user obj.save() class Entity1Admin(AuditAdmin): inlines = (JoinTableInline,) admin.site.register(Entity1,Entity1Admin) --------------------------------- I inserted a sys.exit() line to dump request.user, and it has the correct value, but it's not getting pushed to the database record. Thanks very much for your help, do you have other ideas? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
