I think I might be overlooking something simple here. I have a set of
4 fields in almost every table (user create & modified and date create
& modified). The date (datetime) is easy with auto_now and
auto_now_add options.

The user has been much trickier. I can't figure out how (if possible)
to get access to the current user information in the context of a
model. The work around that I've implemented is a method that takes
the model, user id, and a boolean indicating modification or new. I
then use this in location where I still have a request object (and
thus request.user.id) like my views or save_model() of the admin form.

Is this as good as I can do, or can I access the current user (or
request object) from within the model?

Thanks
Josh
