You haven't shown any code that puts the username in the URL, or
explained where that error appears, so it's hard to diagnose your
problem. It might help if you showed your urls.py.
If you don't want to put the username in the URL, don't put it there.

Re: How do you retrieve a username that is not in the URL?
#urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', main_page),
# ...
(r'^submit/$', submit_page),
(r'^submit/success/$', direct_to_template,
{ 'template': 'submit/submit_success.html' }),
)
The error occurs at the "user=request.user.username" line in views.py.

The value to put into a ForeignKey is the actual User object itself, not its id or username or some other attribute. The error message you're seeing is a consequence of putting the wrong value in there. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.

Re: How do you retrieve a username that is not in the URL?
Also, you might want to make sure you have an authenticated user (by either decorating your view function with @login_required) or check that the user in the request is either authenticated or not the anonymous user (by including an if statement).
