Re: Extending User model with Inheritance - Attribute Error

Hmm...I see. How do you choose what variables are available to which view? It seems like anything I put in context_processors is available anywhere, and I'm not sure I want that. I think I am getting closer, but I am now getting a SiteProfileNotAvailable error. Here is my stack trace: http://dpa

Okay, thanks. This is really helpful. I am having trouble calling get_profile() from within my profile.html template, though. Here is my stack trace: http://dpaste.com/566583/ I tried calling get_profile without the (), which got rid of the error, but no data showed up. On Jul 11, 10:15 am, And

I am having trouble with this line of the tutorial: "You need to register a handler for the signal django.db.models.signals.post_save on the User model, and, in the handler, if created=True, create the associated user profile." It seems I need to edit the User model. I am confused, though, because

Wherever you would reference a user instance, reference UserProfile.user instead If you need to find out a profile from request.user, you can use request.user.get_profile() or the longer UserProfile.objects.get(user_id= request.user.id) Cheers, André On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 1:48 PM, Brent wrot
