Title Body

I have a model that I overrode the save method for, so that the save method can be passed in some data and auto-fill-in a field before saving. Here is my model: class AccountModel(models.Model): account = models.ForeignKey(Account) def save(self, request=None, *args, **kwargs): if request: self.account = request.session['account'] super(AccountModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs) class Meta: abstract = True The idea is I set up a base model for objects that need to be associated with an account and then I won't have to deal with the account connections every time they come up (which is a lot). But: I'd also like to use get_or_create , which saves the new objects without passing in the request. I know it is doable to not use get_or_create and do a try / except instead, but I'd like to know if there is a way to override get_or_create and what is the proper way to do it . I looked at the code for the Manager (which I am looking at overriding) and the get_or_create function just calls a QuerySet.get_or_create function. Maybe I can write it to use other manager functions and not the QuerySet version of get_or_create ? What do y'all think?
