Error: Not Getting It Right about django-follow HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi

You shouldn't include the form but use the template tags provided:

{% load follow_tags %}
{% follow_form request.user.profile %}

That should make it work.

from django-follow.

(Obviously you'd have to adjust the request.user.profile object to fit your needs and models.)

from django-follow.

I’m still not getting it bro! I’m getting this error:

TemplateSyntaxError at /profiles/Lordme/
Caught VariableDoesNotExist while rendering: Failed lookup for key [UserProfile] in u'picomon'
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/profiles/Lordme/
Django Version: 1.3.1
Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError
Exception Value:    Caught VariableDoesNotExist while rendering: Failed lookup for key [UserProfile] in u'picomon'
Exception Location: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\template\base.py in _resolve_lookup, line 692
Python Executable:  C:\Python27\python.exe
Python Version: 2.7.2

This is what I did.

In Models:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user=models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
    avatar=models.ImageField("Profile Pic", upload_to="photologue/photos/", blank=True, null=True)
    names=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    country=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    state_province=models.CharField(max_length=50)
    url=models.URLField('Website', blank=True)
    bio=models.TextField(max_length=1000)
    objects=ProfileManager()

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u"%s" % self.user
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return ('profiles_profile_detail',(),{'username':self.username})
utils.register(UserProfile)

In follow/form.html

{% load follow_tags %}
<form action="{% follow_url UserProfile %}" method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {% if request.user|is_following:UserProfile %}
        <input type="submit" value="Unfollow" />
    {% else %}
        <input type="submit" value="Follow" />
{% endif %}
</form>

In profiles/profile_detail.html

{% load follow_tags %}
    {% follow_form request.user.UserProfile %}

What am I doing wrong? UserProfile is the object.

from django-follow.

The VariableNotFound error suggests that request.user.UserProfile does not exist. Also your code suggests that you're trying to access the UserProfile class on the User model instead of following the ForeignKey relationship back. You should also have a look at related_name to make this all a bit easier.

Fix

Try setting the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE setting and then do

{% load follow tags %}
{% follow_form request.user.get_profile %}

from django-follow.

Also, don't modify the form.html unless you know what you're doing.

from django-follow.

(You seem to be assuming that the UserProfile model is automagically arriving at the template. It's not. An instance of it will though, when you either use get_profile like described above, or request.user.user_profile_set.all.0 without setting the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE and without setting a related_name.)
