HttpResponseRedirect('/')
In my handler, I create a blank profile object associated with the user and in
login, their index is always their profile page, from there they can visit
other parts of the site. It looks something like this:
def show_profile(request, username=None):
if request.user.is_authenticated() and username == None:
# you can use get_or_create() shortcut here
try:
profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user)
except:
# any defaults are set in the model with default= option
profile = Profile.objects.create(user=request.user)
profile.save()
form = ProfileForm()
return render_to_response('profile/profile.html',
{ 'profile': profile, 'form':form },
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
)
# the get_or_404 shortcut object could be used here
try:
profile = Profile.objects.get(user__username__exact=username)
except:
raise Http404
return render_to_response('profile/profile.html', {'profile':profile},
context_instance=RequestContext(request)
def index(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated():
show_profile(request)
else:
return render_to_response('base/index.html', (),
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
You don't have to render profile/profile.html in this, you can use index.html
and or what not. (of course the correct imports are used at the top of the
views page), or you can combine the two functions for the index page and
return render_to_response() based on the availability of the for the user.

Which might be a better way of attacking this, if the index is overall more
important to the site than the profile page, tho these days it seems the
index and profile page lines are getting blurred.
