get current user in Django Form [duplicate]

Answer 1

I found the way :)

1. Write a __init__ method on the form :

   def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
       self.user = user
       super(RSVPForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
   

2. Change view function, and pass request.user to the form

   def event_view(request, slug, model_class=Event, form_class=RSVPForm,
                                   template_name='rsvp/event_view.html'):
       event = get_object_or_404(model_class, slug=slug)
   
       if request.POST:
           form = form_class(request.user, request.POST)
   
       if form.is_valid():
           guest = form.save()
           return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('rsvp_event_thanks',
                       kwargs={'slug': slug, 'guest_id': guest.id}))
       else:
           form = form_class(request.user)
   
       return render_to_response(template_name, {
           'event': event,
           'form': form,
       }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
   

3. the line of the save() method would look like this now:

   guest = self.guest_class.objects.get(user=self.user)
