Can't get data in edit form - django

Question

I'm trying to create an edit form for existing users, I have the User model and I associated to it a profile.
The problem is that the fields of profile are empty in the rendered html, however when I created a new user I filled these fields, and when I enter to administration I find the fields are filled.
models.py
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class Profile(models.Model):
DEPARTMENT_CHOICES = (('MI', 'Math et info'),
('ST', 'Science et Tech'),
('SM', 'Science de la matiere'))
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
teacher = models.BooleanField(default=False)
description = models.TextField(blank=True)
department = models.CharField(max_length=35, choices=DEPARTMENT_CHOICES, blank=True)
picture = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile-images', blank=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
views.py
def profile_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_form = EditUserForm(request.POST, instance=request.user)
ins = Profile.objects.get(pk=5)
profile_form = EditProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=ins)
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
user = user_form.save()
user.save()
profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
profile.user = user
if 'picture' in request.FILES:
profile.picture = request.FILES['picture']
profile.save()
return redirect(home)
else:
user_form = EditUserForm(instance=request.user)
profile_form = EditProfileForm(request.FILES, instance=request.user)
return render(request, 'account/profile.html', {'user_form': user_form,
'profile_form': profile_form})
forms.py
class EditProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ('description', 'department', 'picture', )
class EditUserForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'email', )
profile.html
{% extends 'manhal/base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
{% block content %}
<div class="col-md-6">
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="{% url 'profile' %}" class="form-horizontal">{% csrf_token %}
<fieldset>
<legend>User Profile</legend>
{{ user_form|crispy }}
{{ profile_form|crispy}}
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-primary">
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}

First, your if/else block is checking if the request is a POST. Since the else block is not a POST, you do not want to pass any POST data into your form. This will make the form think it's bound with no data.
Also, it looks like you are passing the request.user to your ProfileForm as the instance, but the model on the ProfileForm meta class is expecting a Profile object.
Can you fix those two things and see if it works or not? If it doesn't work, please post some more code (like your templates).
