current_user is only available in your controllers/views. If it was
available in models, that would break the model/view paradigm.
There are two places where the user is available in models in Hobo:
- permissions
- lifecycles
- creator attributes (http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/manual/model#creator)
In both of those cases, the user is either a parameter or a
"pseudo-parameter" so that the model/view paradigm is not broken. That
explains why "acting_user" is only available from within permission
functions, and not for all methods in your model. It's also why you
have to use `record.creatable_by?(user)` and friends when using
permission functions directly.
That means you have three options:
1) Pass the current_user to your model in a controller action
2) use the creator attribute
3) use lifecycles
It sounds like #2 won't work for you.
#1 is as simple as:
def update
self.this = find_instance
self.this.some_function(current_user)
hobo_update
end
or:
def update
hobo_update
self.this.some_other_function(current_user)
end
I'd look seriously into #3 as well -- non-standard controller actions
are often a sign that you need a lifecycle.

I need to get in one model's setter of a field the info about current
user (exactly who made that operation). How can I do that? I need
user's login to find his signature and add it to the field of another
model. User model and this other model are not associated.
