Cannot resolve keyword 'user' into field Django - django

Question

I'm totally new to Django. I've read over the docs, and I've looked up things on here, but there's not much. I'm basically trying to having profiles display on a page that I've already created. I'm using a custom user model.
And the thing is, I was suggested to simply take out 'user' in 'user=request.user, but problem is if I do that, than I get 'Profile' is not iterable.
Error at line description = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user).description:
FieldError at /mingle/
Cannot resolve keyword 'user' into field. Choices are: date_joined, description, email, given_vote, id, is_active, is_admin, is_staff, is_superuser, last_login, logentry, matches, password, photo, username, uservote

Answer 1

Did you set AUTH_USER_MODEL in your settings.py to point to your custom Profile model? If so, request.user will already be the user that you're trying to filter for.
You can change:
description = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user).description
To:
description = request.user.description
