Most succinct way of prepopulating the author in django 1.2 admin?

Question

A previous answer points to http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/CookBookNewformsAdminAndUser

I'm wondering if it's really necessary to define both save_model and save_formset methods in Django 1.2 in order to prepopulate the author?

Answer 1

If you are working with inlines you need to override save_formset for you inline models as well, for working with the normal admin save_model should be sufficent!
