Hi. You are on the wrong track trying to do it with request.user. The problem is that when you create the form, there is no request object with associated user. You need to do your stuff in the __init__.py instead, where you can create a custom, using the user object as an extra variable.
I got a link to a blog post describing how to do it, so I would suggest that you take a look at it and try to use the method. http://collingrady.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/useful-form-tricks-in-django/ ~Jakob On 26 Mar., 19:37, Konstantin S <ktechli...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > > I know this a very stupid question but nevertheless how can I get > request.user object in forms.py file ?
