I want to auto populate my update form in django with the existing data, but instance=request.user
and instance=request.user.profile
seems not to be auto populating the form
views.py
def UserProfile(request, username):
# user_profiles = Profile.objects.all()
user = get_object_or_404(User, username=username)
profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user)
url_name = resolve(request.path).url_name
context = {
'profile':profile,
'url_name':url_name,
}
return render(request, 'userauths/profile.html', context)
@login_required
def profile_update(request):
info = Announcements.objects.filter(active=True)
categories = Category.objects.all()
user = request.user
profile = get_object_or_404(Profile, user=user)
if request.method == "POST":
u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST, instance=request)
p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile.user)
if u_form.is_valid() and p_form.is_valid():
u_form.save()
p_form.save()
messages.success(request, f'Acount Updated Successfully!')
return redirect('profile', profile.user.username)
else:
u_form = UserUpdateForm(instance=request.user)
p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(instance=request.user.profile)
context = {
'u_form': u_form,
'p_form': p_form,
}
return render(request, 'userauths/profile_update.html', context)
I finnaly figured it out, what you need to is make sure to pass in request.user
and also request.user.profile
in the else: that shows that the forms is a GET request
