I am using Django 1.8 with Python 3.4 I had no idea why my template doesn't show my username on template profile.html :/
profile.py {% load staticfiles %} <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'accounts/css/style.css' %}" /> {% block content %} <h2>My profile</h2> <p>{{ request.user.username }}</p> {% endblock %} views.py from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, AuthenticationForm from django.shortcuts import render_to_response from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect from django.core.context_processors import csrf from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login def login_view(request): if request.method == 'POST': username = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: if user.is_active: login(request, user) return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/profile') else: # Return a 'disabled account' error message ... pass else: # Return an 'invalid login' error message. pass form = AuthenticationForm() args = {} args.update(csrf(request)) args['form']= AuthenticationForm() return render_to_response('accounts/login.html', args) def my_view(request): username = request.POST['username'] password = request.POST['password'] user = authenticate(username=username, password=password) if user is not None: print(request.user) if user.is_active: login(request, user) return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/profile') else: # Return a 'disabled account' error message ... else: # Return an 'invalid login' error message. ... def profile(request): username = request.user.username return render_to_response('accounts/profile.html', username) def register_user(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = UserCreationForm(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() return HttpResponseRedirect('/accounts/register_success') args = {} args.update(csrf(request)) args['form']= UserCreationForm() return render_to_response('accounts/register_user.html', args) def register_success(request): return render_to_response('accounts/register_success.html') -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
