title: Set form 'author' field to logged in user before render
body: <p>I want to set the default value of my forms 'author' field (models.ForeignKey(User)) to the currently logged in user. I want to do this before the entry is saved so when creating an entry the user does not have to select themselves in order for the form to validate. </p>
  
  <p>I tried setting the value in my form init function, but there is not reference to the request object so it seems impossible?</p>
  
  <p>I am not using the django admin panel for this application.</p>
