I see you are not using Auth, this means a lot of extra work for you. Assuming user.id was stored in session.user_id upon login you can do
db.guestbook.author.default=session.user_id db.guestbook.author.writable=False # readonly db.guestbook.author.readable=False # invisible Anyway, I suggest you use auth.
