how to set dynamic initial values to django modelform field
i'm kinda new to django, i need to set a dynamic initial value to my modelform field. i have a database field in my model name 'author' it has a foreignkey that connects it to the django user model. i need to automatically set this to the current user anytime a user fills in information into the form. from what i gathered about this problem, i'd have to define an init function inside the MyHouseEditForm below, i'm new to django and all the examples i've seen a pretty confusing. really nned help forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from .models import Myhouses
class MyHouseEditForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Myhouses
fields = ('author','name_of_accomodation', 'type_of_room', 'house_rent', 'availability', 'location', 'nearest_institution', 'description', 'image')
i need to set the value of 'author' to the current user anytime a user logs in.
models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Myhouses(models.Model):
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.SET_NULL, null=True, blank=True, related_name='author')
Available = 'A'
Not_Available = 'NA'
Availability = (
(Available, 'Available'),
(Not_Available, 'Not_Available'),
)
name_of_accomodation = models.CharField(max_length=200)
type_of_room = models.CharField(max_length=200)
house_rent = models.IntegerField(null=True)
availability = models.CharField(max_length=2, choices=Availability, default=Available,)
location = models.CharField(max_length=200)
nearest_institution = models.CharField(max_length=200)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile_image')
def __str__(self):
return self.name_of_accomodation
views.py
@login_required
def addlisting(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = MyHouseEditForm(request.POST, files=request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
Houses = form.save(commit=False)
Houses.save()
return redirect('addlisting')
else:
form = MyHouseEditForm()
return render(request, 'houses/addlisting.html', {'form':form })
