In django, getting the following usernames in user profile - django

Question

i'm building a following model. I have created a following model as shown below and it is working fine in the admin. I did not create a view for the following because i'm in primary stage of building i'm testing in templates to bring that usernames in userspostlist, but it's not working.
my models.py for following:
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='owner', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
following = models.ManyToManyField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, blank=True, related_name='followed_by')
def __str__(self):
return str(self.following.all().count())
class post(models.Model):
parent = models.ForeignKey("self", on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=True, null=True)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='post_pics', null=True, blank=True)
video = models.FileField(upload_to='post_videos', null=True, blank=True)
content = models.TextField()
likes = models.ManyToManyField(User, related_name='likes', blank=True)
date_posted = models.DateTimeField(default=timezone.now)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
objects = postManager()
def __str__(self):
return self.title
my views.py for userpostlist:
class UserPostListView(ListView):
model = post
template_name = 'blog/user_post.html' #<app>/<model>_<viewtype>.html
context_object_name = 'posts'
def get_queryset(self):
user = get_object_or_404(User, username=self.kwargs.get('username'))
return post.objects.filter(author=user).order_by('-date_posted')
and my userpostlist.html:
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
<h1 class="mb-3">posts by {{view.kwargs.username}}</h1>
{% for user in username.owner.following.all %}
{{ user.username }}
{% endfor %}
{% for post in posts %}
<article class="content-section">
<div class="article-metadata">
<div class="img">
<img class="rounded-circle article-img" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#mymodal" src="{{ post.author.profile.image.url }}">
</div>
<div class="profile-info">
<a class="h2" href="{% url 'user-posts' post.author.username %}">{{ post.author }}</a>
<div class="text-muted">{{ post.date_posted }}</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock content %}
Is there any problem with the userpostlist view in views.py? do i need to add some code there?

Answer 1

You have some options here, where one is to pass users into context:
class UserPostListView(ListView):
...
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['author'] = get_object_or_404(User, username=self.kwargs.get('username')
return context
And then instead of this:
{% for user in username.owner.following.all %}
{{ user.username }}
{% endfor %}
Use this:
{{ author.username }}
