I have a model with a required field of ForeignKey(User)
What's the easiest way to write an add manipulator that automatically
provides the current authenticated user for that field?
do not write it at all, use generic views and wrap it in your function
that will supply the user
I'm not sure what you mean - can you give a code snippet?
I'm currently using a custom view because the form is on a page with
a bunch of other stuff. It's primarily a list of existing objects,
filtered by the current user, with a form for adding a new one.
Perhaps this can still be done with a generic view.
I currently have a view that contains, amongst other things:
if request.method == "POST":
new_data = request.POST.copy()
errors = manipulator.get_validation_errors(new_data)
if not errors:
manipulator.do_html2python(new_data)
new_object = manipulator.save(new_data)
...
...
But I can't see how I can inject the user in here unless I do
something like: write a custom manipulator that doesn't have the
requirement for the user foreign key and then pass in the user
somehow into the manipulator (via new_data?)
