request.user will give you the User object from the
django.contrib.auth.models, but Authors has no relation.
If you slightly modify your Book model to make authors relate to the
above module, you can eliminate the Authors Model and the "user" of
you Book model.
class Book(models.Model):
...
authors = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='Entries')
...
Now in you view, all you have to do is:
def add_books(request):
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect("accounts/login")
if request.method == "POST":
formset = BookFormSet(request.POST)
if formset.is_valid():
formset.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('books/latest.html')
I'm a n3wb so, I'm fishing to see if I'm understanding the same :]
