Hi, I just want to show the current logged in user in for foreign key in Django admin. Following are the approach used buy me:
1-> def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): if db_field.name == "user": "set the current user as a default value for drop down" kwargs["initial"] = request.user.id return super(ResponseAdmin, self).formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, **kwargs) 2->def formfield_for_foreignkey(self, db_field, request, **kwargs): if db_field.name == "user": "Filter the drop down as per standard procedure" kwargs["queryset"] = User.objects.filter(username = request.user.username) return super(ResponseAdmin, self).formfield_for_foreignkey(db_field, request, **kwargs) Problems for 1st approach is the current logged in user gets properly set but it also shows the other users in the existing database. That is actually wrong because the current user may select the other user name and post the data in admin. Problem for second appraoch(For my Team Manager not me) the only logged in user gets populated and user has to select his name. He is unagreed with this scenario neither ok with the 1st solution(neither me). Is there any other way to solve this -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
