Re: Problem saving a User object to a profile

[DragonSlayre]

Actually, it seems a bit redundant doesn't it?  I see there is a
get_profile, but nothing to set it anyway.  I guess it's derived
information from the database Yay! such simple solutions, I'm so
happy to be able to register.

Re: Problem saving a User object to a profile

You are gods - thank you.  I did try something like this before, but
being so noob at the technology, didn't assign the form to a new
variable.

Will i have to assign the profile in the user object as well?  I
assume I will.

The problem is that you can't assign fields in forms directly like
this. The only way to input data into a form is when you initially
create the form object ala:

profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST)

If theres another way I'd love to know too, because I ran into this
problem earlier and my only solution was to manually create an hidden
textbox with the user_id.

also, make sure if the user already has a profile in the database,
that you create a bound form:

profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST,
instance=request.user.get_profile())

The easiest way is to do it like this:
new_profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
new_profile.user = request.user
new_profile.save()
--
DR.

I assume that you are using ModelForm to create your form.
If so, check the documentation [1] and you'll know that the save  
method returns the model instance.
So you should be able todo:

profile = profile_form.save()
profile.user = user
profile.save()

that'll cause 2 database hits, but should work fine.

Re: Problem saving a User object to a profile

[DragonSlayre]

Ok - I'm digging deeper, and I realise that my form doesn't have a
user, as it's excluded from the form using exclude = ('user').

I'll carry on looking...

Problem saving a User object to a profile

[DragonSlayre]

I've got a profile model which has a django.contrib.auth.models.User
as a foreign key.

I am trying to assign the User object to my profile model after I've
checked that the user is valid and that the profile contents are also
valid.

Once I've saved my user object, I then call

profile_form.user = user;
profile_form.save()

In my database, the user and profile have been created, but the
profile's foreign key to the user hasn't been created.

I'm guessing that I'm not calling the right thing on the profile_form,
but am not sure what I should be calling?

Thanks for your help :)
