How to define user in Django admin?

Question

Django

Suppose there is a plate with orders, you need to know who entered this order into the database, and if I use the admin panel as this, then how to determine the user who logged in?

Answer 1

I didn't quite understand what you want. You say that it works through the admin, but you do not inherit from admin.ModelAdmin, and you do not have custom views ... do you have a standard admin or ...?
Here is an example code for a standard admin panel:

class Order(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    body = models.TextField()
    creator = models.ForeignKey('User', null=True, blank=True)

class OrderAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = [....]

    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
        if getattr(obj, 'creator', None) is None:
            obj.creator = request.user
        obj.save()

Answer 2

Override the save_model method of your successor from admin.ModelAdmin - request is available there and, accordingly, request.user https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/...

Answer 3

request.user, like everywhere else.
