how to edit the user profile - django

Question

Hi guys I am new to Django.
I wants that when I login to my account there is a edit button which shows me a form of some fields which I can edit.
I am confused how the data is saved to the same user profile.
So can anybody tell me how is that possible.Can show me it with one example
With my profile.html I can see my profile and on click on edit button I can edit my profile
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block content %}
<p>User_id: {{ drinker.user_id }}
<p>Name: {{ drinker.name }}</p>
<p>Birthday: {{ drinker.birthday }}</p>
<p>first_name: {{ user.first_name }}</p>
<p>Users: {{ user.username }}</p>
<p>Edit Profile
{% endblock %}
Edit function
def Edit(request):
if not request.user.is_authenticated():
return HttpResponseRedirect('/login/')
drinker = request.user.get_profile()
context = {'drinker':drinker}
return render_to_response('edit.html', context, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
**Edit.html**
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block extrahead %}
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.23/jquery-ui.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
$(function() {
$( "#birth" ).datepicker();
});
</script>
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<form action="/edit1/" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="register_div">
<p><label for="name">Name:</label></p>
<p><input type="text" value="{{ drinker.name }}"></p>
</div>
<div class="register_div">
<p><label for="birthday">Birthday: {{ drinker.birthday }} </label></p>
<p>Choose new date of birth</p>
<p><input type="text" value="" id="birth"></p>
</div>
<p><input type="submit" value="submit" /></p>
</form>
{% endblock %}
On edit1 edit request function works
def EditRequest(request):
#if request.method == 'POST':
#form = UserProfileForm(request.POST, instance=user)
#if request.user.is_authenticated():
#return render_to_response('hgdhg')
if request.method == 'POST':
form = EditForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
user=User.objects.create_user(usere_id=form.cleaned_data['user_id'])
#user.save()
drinker=user.get_profile()
drinker.name=form.cleaned_data['name']
drinker.birthday=form.cleaned_data['birthday']
drinker.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect('/profile/')
else:
return HttpResponseRedirect('/f/')
else:
return render_to_response('f')#,{'form':form} , context_instance=RequestContext(request))
this editrequest doesn't work ?

Answer 1

Here are the steps you need to execute to edit a user's profile:
Find out which user is logged in (read up on user authentication)
Check if the user has a profile or not; use the normal django query mechanism for that.
If the user has a profile; populate a ModelForm with the instance of the profile (see this page in the manual)
Display the form to the end user just like any other form.
When the user submits changes, do the normal form validation and save the object to the database.
Here is some code that does steps 1-4:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from myapp.models import UserProfile
from myapp.forms import UserProfileForm
#login_required
def edit_profile(request):
try:
user_profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=request.user)
except UserProfile.DoesNotExist:
# this user has no profile
return redirect('/error')
user_profile_form = UserProfileForm(instance=user_profile)
return render(request,'profile_edit.html',{'form':user_profile_form})
The UserProfileForm class:
from django import forms
from myapp.models import UserProfile
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile

Answer 2

pass the instance of user along your model form
user = User.objects.get(user_name = username)
form = Registrationform(instance=user)
and render this form to your template

Answer 3

Example i did before:
#login_required
def lexuseditform(request,userpk):
if Adult.objects.filter(user=request.user).exists():
adult = Adult.objects.get(user=request.user) # load existing Adult
else:
adult = Adult(user=request.user) # create new Adult
if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
form = AdultForm(request.POST,instance=adult) # A form bound to the POST data
if form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
form.save()
redirect_url = reverse('lexusedited',kwargs={'userpk': request.user.pk})
return HttpResponseRedirect(redirect_url) # Redirect after POST
else:
form = AdultForm(instance=adult) # An unbound form
return render(request,'lexus/lexuseditform.html', {'form': form})
#login_required
def lexusedited(request,userpk):
return render(request,'lexus/lexusedited.html')
Hope this helps...
