Re: getting id of logged user in admin site

thanks Hugo. I think this is a common case: I (and peraphs many people) prefer django to other frameworks because of its admin application: half a work is already made. I think a feature like this will be very helpful to many people, so I will open a ticket on django's trac. Thanks to all, Flavi

Re: getting id of logged user in admin site

your snippet works, but it returns the id of the author of an articles already saved in the database. What I want to do is to save the article with the id of user that is saving the article, without the need to select an user/author from a menu.

God you're quick, I just posted this. Just tested it and it works fine now. Another alternative I tried out in the meantime was to change the definition of State taking out the "primary_key = True". That worked fine as well. Thanks a bunch! /LarS

foreign key lookup problem

I have difficulties using field lookups on foreign keys. I'm trying to retrieve a list of items with a specific state using the following model: class State(meta.Model): state = meta.CharField(maxlength = 12, primary_key = True) class Item(meta.Model): wdate = meta.DateField() state = meta

Catching IntegrityError?

I've got a model that looks like the following and describes a "Person", notice that I require the forumsname to be "unique"---begin code---class Person(meta.Model):    fullname    = meta.CharField(maxlength=100,verbose_name="Full Name",blank=False)    forumsname  = meta.CharField(maxlengt

post_save problem

In a foreign key relationship, the main objects pre_save() and post_save() both get performed prior to the subordinate object's pre and post save, e.g.: poll._pre_save() poll._post_save() choice._pre_save() choice._post_save() choice._pre_save() choice._post_save() Is this intentional? I would

pre_save problem

In a foreign key relationsship (like Polls and Choices in the tutorial), the _pre_save() definition tries to retrieve the subordinate ("choices") items from the database. I really would like to get hold of the subordinate items prior to being saved to database (well, it's called pre_save, right?)
