So I have almost completed my Django app. But whenever I create the new user, his/her profile is not created automatically and when I open the profile after logging in, I get this error RelatedObjectDoesNotExist at /esacp/profile/ User has no profile
My signals.py is below:
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.dispatch import receiver
from .models import Profile
@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
Profile.objects.create(user=instance)
@receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.profile.save()
My views.py of register()
and profile()
are below:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib import messages
from .forms import UserRegisterForm, UserUpdateForm, ProfileUpdateForm
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
username = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
messages.success(request, f'Your Student Account has been created! You can log in ESACP now.')
return redirect('login')
else:
form = UserRegisterForm()
return render(request, 'users/register.html', {'form': form})
@login_required
def profile(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(request.POST,
request.FILES,
instance=request.user.profile)
if u_form.is_valid() and p_form.is_valid():
u_form.save()
p_form.save()
messages.success(request, f'Your Profile information has been updated.')
return redirect('profile')
else:
u_form = UserUpdateForm(instance=request.user)
p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(instance=request.user.profile)
context = {
'u_form': u_form,
'p_form': p_form
}
My forms.py is below:
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from .models import Profile
class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField()
first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=50)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']
class UserUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
email = forms.EmailField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email']
class ProfileUpdateForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ['image']
and my apps.py is below:
from django.apps import AppConfig
class UsersConfig(AppConfig):
name = 'users'
def ready(self):
import users.signals
Everything to me seems to be fine, anyone knows what's wrong or what am I missing?
It seems like your receivers are not working Check if you have,
INSTALLED_APPS = [
....
users.apps.UsersConfig
]
if UsersConfig is not there, it will not be initialized and ready wont be executed, resulting in not importing your receivers
or you can add in init.py inside users app
default_app_config = 'users.apps.UsersConfig'
To ensure receiver works, just add print("I'm working") inside receivers functions and watch the console
