I created simple django blog app where user can login and logout. In this app user can create new posts only when he is logged in. For that i created a form for creating post for authenticated user where he has to put Title , author name and context.
But i want to put username of that logged in user as a label in Author_name field which user cant edit. so i made that field disabled for editing but i couldn't put username of logged in user inside that field as a label.
Need help guys.

My code goes here ....

The easiest solution that directly applies to your code, you can do

form = create_form(initial={'author':request.user.username}) #or request.user may work because it returns the username as a string

As a more general solution, that also updates the username in case it changes for any reason, would be to use a ForeignKey

In you models.py

    class Article(models.Model):

        title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

        author = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)

        date_pub = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

        content = models.TextField()



        def __str__(self):

            return self.title

In your forms.py do not list it in the fields list it as one of the fields (keep it as-is).

Then in your views.py, assign it is as follows:

if form.is_valid():

    instance=form.save(commit=False)

    instance.author=request.user

    instance.save()

You change the author in your example to author_name, for consistency. The idea here is that you can filter by the user (or any other property of the user, such as age or gender or whatever your model actually contains)

The easiest solution that directly applies to your code, you can do

form = create_form(initial={'author':request.user.username}) #or request.user may work because it returns the username as a string

As a more general solution, that also updates the username in case it changes for any reason, would be to use a ForeignKey

In you models.py

    class Article(models.Model):

        title = models.CharField(max_length=100)

        author = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)

        date_pub = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

        content = models.TextField()



        def __str__(self):

            return self.title

In your forms.py do not list it in the fields list it as one of the fields (keep it as-is).

Then in your views.py, assign it is as follows:

if form.is_valid():

    instance=form.save(commit=False)

    instance.author=request.user

    instance.save()
