Model Blues - A Newbie's question

[nikosk]

I need the default value of a field in a model to be the id of the
user creating the new instance of the object the model is modeling
( am I making sense at all?)

i.e. :
class Article(models.Model):
category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
sub_title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
intro_text = models.TextField(blank=True)
main_text = models.TextField()
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now)
author = models.ForeignKey(User)

When someone is creating a new Article in the admin app I want the new
Article's author field to be the user's id.

Is that possible ?

Django models - newbie question

[nikosk]

Hi all

Does anyone know how to do something like this :

class Game(models.Model):
team1 = models.ForeignKey(Teams, related_name=u'team_home')
team2 = models.ForeignKey(Teams , related_name=u'team_away')
round = models.ForeignKey(Round)
game_date = models.DateField()
def __unicode__(self):
return Teams.objects.filter(self.team1)    DOES NOT
WORK

Basically I want __unicode__ to return Teams.name based on the foreign
key reference

thanks in advance
