Yeah, you want to assign that user_id value in the view, when you're
saving the instance:
mydocument.author_id = request.user.id
mydocument.save()
Are you trying to solve for a case where you want the current *admin*
user to be the author_id for the record? You can also add a save
method to your admin class, something like this:
class DocumentAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
obj.user = request.user
if not obj.author_id:
obj.author_id = obj.user_id
obj.save()
One other thing ... if you're going to populate 'author' with user_id,
you might want to change the model thusly:
author = models.ForeignKey(User)
