You could replace in the view:
if form_upload.is_valid():
form_upload.save()
# with this:
if form_upload.is_valid():
form_upload.user = request.user
form_upload.save()
You may also want to not display the user field in the form. You can do it
by defining an 'exclude' Meta class attribute for the ModelForm, as done
below. I believe you can also hide a field in the form by marking it
"editable=False" in its model's field definition.
class FormUpload(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = ModelName
exclude = ('user',)
