Hello I am trying to use a class based generic view (DetailView) to view user profiles.
What I am trying to achieve is: if no user PK is provided in the URL show the logged in user. If there is a user PK in the URL show that user. Thus reducing the need to have 2 views. My code currently errors out complaining of a missing key error "pk" if I do not specify a PK in the URL. If a PK is supplied in the URL it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you This is my code so far: class home(DetailView): context_object_name = 'profile' template_name = 'view_profile.html' def get_context_data(self, **kwargs): context = super(home, self).get_context_data(**kwargs) u_ct = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(get_user_model()).id context.update({ 'profile_ct': u_ct, }) return context def get_queryset(self): UserModel = get_user_model() pk = self.kwargs['pk'] if not pk: profile = UserModel.objects.filter(pk=self.request.user) else: profile = UserModel.objects.filter(pk=self.kwargs['pk']) return profile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
