Sorry about the noob questions, I'm digging through the docs... that
was perfect, thanks! The implementation I'm using now looks kinda like
this:
class ArticleAdmin(models.ModelAdmin):
def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
if obj.created_at == None:
obj.created_at = datetime.now()
if obj.created_by == None or len(obj.created_by) == 0:
obj.created_by = request.user.username
obj.updated_at = datetime.now()
obj.updated_by = request.user.username
obj.save()
Only issue was: I had to set the created_by and updated_by fields to
blank=True in the model to defeat the validator, even though the
semantics are that they shouldn't be blank (seems hacky, is there a
better way?).
