用于auth_user的django UpdateView

Question

I created my own get_object method to initialize an update-form with data from self.request.user .

The following code gives me all fields of auth_user instead of just username and email .

What am I doing wrong?

class UserUpdateView(UpdateView):
  model = User
  fields = ['username', 'email']

  def get_object(self):
     return get_object_or_404(self.model, pk=self.request.user.id)

Answer 1

Using the fields attribute isn't supported in Django < v1.6 . Instead, provide a custom ModelForm:

# forms.py
from django.forms import ModelForm


class UserUpdateForm(ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ['username', 'email']


# views.py
class UserUpdateView(UpdateView):
    model = User
    form_class = UserUpdateForm

    # Parameters should match your superclass's parameters or have *args and **kwargs
    def get_object(self, queryset=None):
        return get_object_or_404(self.model, pk=self.request.user.pk)
