I have a simple model like so:
# models.py
class Announcement(models.Model):
"""
Table containing intranet announcements
"""
category = models.ForeignKey(AnnouncementCategory)
user = models.ForeignKey(User)
text = models.TextField()
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
In the admin section I don't want to see the user field when adding/
editing. So I exclude it like so:
# admin.py
class AnnouncementAdmin(CRUDAdmin):
"""
Options for the Admin interface
"""
list_display = ['edit_obj', 'timestamp', 'text', 'added_by',
'delete_obj']
list_display_links = ['timestamp']
exclude = ['user']
Now obviously if you try to add a new announcement it will fail since
ther user_id is a required value. What I want to happen is that the
user adding the announcement will have their user_id inserted with the
announcement. I couldn't find any way of doing this. Even if I
create a custom form and override the save method I only have access
to the vairables self and commit. So as far as I can tell I can't do
this in the Admin. It looks like I would need to write my own custom
form and view. Is this correct, or is there another way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
