If you want to go trough the source, some examples and suggestions, you might want to see code.djangoproject.com
In order to automatically set the author, in your model definition you'll need to do two things. First of all - include the User model in the file where you define your models. Second - go to http://code.djangoproject.org/wiki/CookBookThreadlocalsAndUser and see how to do the trick to set the current user in your model. Note that default works, it's not always necessary to modify the save() methods, if you don't need to. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
