link individual user's profile to user in comment section - Django

Question

I need to link respective user's profile to the comments. Currently all my links are taking me to the logged in user's profile itself.

My user model @ user_profile/models.py:

class MyUser(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):        
    email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), max_length=254, unique=True)        
    .......
    .......

    objects = manager.CustomUserManager()

    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS = ['date_of_birth']

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = _('user')
        verbose_name_plural = _('users')

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return "/users/%s/" % urlquote(self.email)

My profile model:

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
                                related_name="profile",
                                on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True, default='')
    .....
    .....

    objects = manager.CustomProfileManager()

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse("user_profile:commenters_profile")

    @property
    def get_profile(self):
        instance = self
        content_type = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(instance.__class__)
        return content_type

Comments/models.py:

class Comment(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='comment_by', default=1)
    ....

View:

@login_required
def commenters_profile(request):
    instance = get_object_or_404(Profile)

    context = {
        "title": instance.title,
        "instance": instance.get_profile(),
        }
    return render(request, "profile.html", context)

user_profile/urls.py:

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', myProfile, name='myProfile'),
    url(r'^$', commenters_profile, name='commenters_profile'),
]

template:

<p><a href="{{ comment.user.profile.get_absolute_url }}"> {{ comment.user.get_full_name }}</a></p>

Please help.

Screenshot of Comments Section:

yes. The name is being displayed correctly. I think my view is not correct. However, I am unable to figure it out. — surajitM

Because myProfile and commenters_profile have same regular expressions, you never reach commenters_profile, all request will be send to myProfile. Change commenters_profile url:

url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$', commenters_profile, name='commenters_profile'),

fix get_absolute_url method:

def get_absolute_url(self):
    return reverse("user_profile:commenters_profile", kwargs={'pk': self.pk})

and view:

@login_required
def commenters_profile(request, pk):
    instance = get_object_or_404(Profile, pk=pk)

    context = {
        "title": instance.title,
        "instance": instance.get_profile(),
        }
    return render(request, "profile.html", context)
