    77The code is stolen from my gallery project - there you have a picturefolder that has a path and a slug that point to the filesystem and a user_id that denotes the owner (actually it's a ForeignKey to the auth.users model). So users should never be able to change the owner or change the filesystem path (otherwise they might be able to fetch files from security relevant parts of the filesystem). The following code prevents changing those fields by overwriting them in the POST data with data from the original object. That way even faked POST requests won't get access to those attributes.
