I have been learning the Django tutorial for a few weeks using YT, StackOverflow, Django documentation, and other sources. So, maybe my question goes out of the sense. I hope you will understand my question. If anything is a mistake on my code or you want to give me some suggestions, then reply to me.
I make the site locally on my computer. First of all, I have created a signup page and login page using Django Model.
After User login the site, In profile settings, I have created form field like first_name, last_name, email, mobile_number, date_of_birth, zip_code, address, website, bio, etc.
I have models.py for Account setting
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your models here.
class Account(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, null=True, on_delete=models.SET_NULL)
profile_photo = models.ImageField(upload_to='profile', null=True)
mobile_number = models.PositiveBigIntegerField(null=True)
date_of_birth = models.DateField(auto_now_add=False, auto_now=False, null= True)
zip_code = models.IntegerField(null=True)
address = models.CharField(max_length=225, null=True)
website = models.URLField(max_length=100, null=True)
bio = models.CharField(max_length=225, null=True)
In forms.py
from django import forms
from .models import Account
class AccountForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Account
fields = '__all__'
In templates
<form class="form mx-auto my-5" method="POST" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="user" type="hidden" value="{{request.user.id}}" required>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col form-group">
<label for="first_name" class="font-weight-bold">First name (required):</label>
<input name="first_name" type="text" id="first_name" class="form-control" placeholder="First name" value="{% if request.user.first_name %}{{request.user.first_name}}{% endif %}" required>

<span>Write something about your</span>
</div>
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary btn-md px-3 my-0 mr-0 float-right" type="submit">Submit</button
</form>
I tried in views.py, it worked.
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import AccountForm
from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your views here.
def profileSettingsPage(request, pid):
form = AccountForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = AccountForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if int(request.POST.get('user')) == request.user.id:
if form.is_valid():
user = User.objects.get(pk=pid)
user.first_name = request.POST.get('first_name')
user.last_name = request.POST.get('last_name')
user.email = request.POST.get('email')
user.save()
form.save()
messages.success(request, 'Profile saved.')
return redirect('profile-settings', pid)
else:
messages.warning(request, 'Sorry! You enter other username.')
return redirect('profile-settings', pid)
context = {'form':form}
return render(request, 'profile-settings.html', context)
But, I want to validate for first_name, last_name, email field before saving. I was expecting some is_valid() to save.
Also, I tried something new
Now, In views.py I added
from pages.forms import CreateUserForm
which was created for signup page
Then, views.py looks like this:
from django.shortcuts import render, redirect
from .forms import AccountForm
from pages.forms import CreateUserForm
from django.contrib import messages
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your views here.
def profileSettingsPage(request, pid):
form1 = AccountForm()
form2 = CreateUserForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form1 = AccountForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
form2 = CreateUserForm(request.POST)
if int(request.POST.get('user')) == request.user.id:
if form1.is_valid() and form2.is_valid():
form2.save()
form1.save()
messages.success(request, 'Profile saved.')
return redirect('profile-settings', pid)
else:
messages.warning(request, 'Faile to saved profile')
return redirect('profile-settings', pid)
else:
messages.warning(request, 'Sorry! You enter other username.')
return redirect('profile-settings', pid)
context = {'form1':form1, 'form2':form2}
return render(request, 'profile-settings.html', context)
But, This is not worked for me. form1.is_valid() and form2.is_valid() can not pass True value and give me message "Failed to saved profile."
My question is, I want to update the first_name, last_name, email field of the Django model User, and other fields are separately updated to the next model.
Another question
In the above models.py, I have use ForeignKey() to get the User(username or id).
In templates, I have used {{ request.user.id }} to get user.
Is it possible to get User (id or username) without touching views.py, forms.py and templates?
Edit: I got an answer on this link: I am unable to update two models at the same time in Django Views.py
