Re: Getting data from table with name logged in user

I think what you want is self.request.user.username or something like that. At the documentation take a look at "Request and response objects".

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Django and have a problem. I have a table in my database with records that contains data for different users. All I need to do is listing that data with a list_view for the user that is logged in. My code now looks like this:

class RoosterListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):

    queryset = Roosters.objects.filter(startvc__range=(DatumStart, DatumEind),username="My_name").order_by("startvc")[:35]

For the user 'My_name' this offcourse is okay. But when I login, it should be 'Ernst'. So:

uname = 'Ernst'

class RoosterListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):

    queryset = Roosters.objects.filter(startvc__range=(DatumStart, DatumEind),username=uname).order_by("startvc")[:35]

This also works fine. So what I want todo is fill the variable 'uname' with the username from the logged in user. How do I do that. I can't get it done.

For example I tried:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

uname = User.username

no errors but also no data.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Ernst
