    v1 v2  
    1 Full email discussion from: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/493e0c048dd07e46/bf8a13a685d81c75?lnk=gst&q=get_profile#bf8a13a685d81c75
     1The docs lead one to expect that given an app name `Profile`, a `AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE` setting of `profile.modelname` would work, but `Profile.modelname` is actually correct.
    22
    3 The link to the faulty documentation is given at the very end of this entry.
     3http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#auth-profiles claims that `AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE` is "The (normalized to lower-case) name of the application in which the user profile model is defined (in other words, an all-lowercase version of the name which was passed to `manage.py startapp` to create the application)."
    44
    5 Dear all,
     5This is wrong; the `app_label` part is the a python module, and hence case-sensitive.
    66
    7 I have difficulties with the `get_profile` to link my `Profile` class with
    8 the inbuilt User object.
    9 
    10 The error message (which can be obtained through the 'chatroom' view
    11 shown below, or via the shell) is:
    12 
    13 {{{
    14 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    19 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/4.0.30002/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.pyc in get_profile(self)
    20     291                 app_label, model_name = settings.AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.split('.')
    21     292                 model = models.get_model(app_label, model_name)
    22 --> 293                 self._profile_cache = model._default_manager.get(user__id__exact=self.id)
    23     294             except (ImportError, ImproperlyConfigured):
    24     295                 raise SiteProfileNotAvailable
    25 
    26 AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '_default_manager'
    27 }}}
    28 
    29 This indicates that `models.get_model()` does return `None`, but I don't know why.
    30 
    31 I have in `settings.py`:
    32 {{{
    33 AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'people.profile'
    34 }}}
    35 which I believe is the right entry.
    36 
    37 
    38 For clarity, I have created a small django-site that can be downloaded in a tar file as:
    39 
    40 http://www.soton.ac.uk/~fangohr/geheim/django/get_profile/debug.tar.gz
    41 
    42 or can be viewed online in the untarred version at
    43 
    44 http://www.soton.ac.uk/~fangohr/geheim/django/get_profile/debug
    45 
    46 I summarise the most important elements below (so that this email can stand on its own for the archives):
    47 
    48 
    49 `mysite/People/models.py` contains:
    50 {{{
    51 #-----------
    52 from django.contrib.auth.models import User
    53 from django.db import models

    56     user = models.ForeignKey(User,unique=True)
    57     homepageURL=models.URLField('homepage',blank=True)
    58 
    59     class Admin:
    60         pass
    61 #-----------
    62 }}}
    63 
    64 The corresponding view (which fails) is in `mysite/People/views.py`:
    65 {{{
    66 #-----------
    67 from django.contrib.auth.models import User
    68 from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

    71 def chatrooms(request):

    73         user_address = u.get_profile().homepageURL
    74         #at this point we get an error, equivalent to shell example
    75 #-----------
    76 }}}

    255 Note: Changing `people.profile` to `People.profile` solves the problem.

    261 Related documentation: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#auth-profiles
    262 
    263 Here it says under 1.: "The (normalized to lower-case) name of the application in which the user profile model is defined (in other words, an all-lowercase version of the name which was passed to `manage.py startapp` to create the application)."
    264 
    265 This is wrong.
