With no reference to what you found, it's difficult to know if that's the recommended way, but the way to do this two years ago is the same as today. Models and the ORM layer are quite separate from requests, responses and views and "the current user" only makes sense in the latter (it's very common to use models without having any concept of a current user, for example). So you'll either have to set the user manually in the view, or use something like threadlocals for storing it in the view so that the model's save method can pull it out.
