I might be a noob question but... is there a way of using request in models.py?
Something like:
class MyModel (models.Model): User = models.ForeignKey(default=request.user) ...other fields... Or maybe using the post_init method for doing this job.
Thanks.
That specific example you gave it's not useful in Django. Request do have a context with them (the context where the HTTP happened) so it could or could not be available when you instantiate MyModel.
You can do in your view:
def index(request): myModel = MyModel(request.user) And in your model:
class MyModel (models.Model): user = models.ForeignKey(User) def __init__(self, pUserName): self.user = User.objects.get(userName=pUserName)
