Re: User Created Objects (models)

Mike,

Thanks for responding.

I seem to be getting an error when I try to make foreign keys in my model.  Do you have any idea why?

My Model that I am adding is called GeneralSetting

I am now importing:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

I added under my
class GeneralSetting(models.Model):
    updated_by=models.ForeignKey(User)
    created_by=models.ForeignKey(User)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "General Settings"

C:\Users\mike\workspace\ciscoebondinggateway>jython manage.py makemigrations

Is there a way to add the user to the data model, so it knows who
created the record and who updated it last?

You need to establish a couple of foreign key fields in your model (eg created and updated) which both link to auth.user. Then grab request.user at the appropriate time and do <model>.created = request.user and <model>.updated = request.user just before saving.

This can be done in the admin https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model

In your own forms it is the same as updating any other fields.

    Hello,
    I'm relatively new to Django. So I have a working (local) web
    application. I can create new model objects from the admin site, but
    I would like my users to be able to create their own objects and
    save them to the database. I'm really confused on the over arching
    process on how this is down and I would appreciate it if someone
    could lead me in the correct direction.

    I want to allow my users:
    1. fill in information on a page
    2. submit this page to the database
    3. redirect them to a page that reflects their input ("You
    successfully submitted this {{title}}")

    Thanks
