[@djsmanoj0000]

Sorry im going mad for the solution can you explain it briefly? Please @motlasti

[@motlatsimoea]

@monoj sorry for the late reply. African timezone. My understanding is that that users you created before you created the Profile model do not get a profile, which also means they don't get an image field. Only those users you create after creating the Post model will have the image field apply to them. Furthermore, take care to store that default picture in the right place. I made a mistake there as well. I hope this helps.

For those that the profile wasn't created automatically, you must put it [default_app_config = 'users.apps.UsersConfig'] in your users/__init__.py and also check that default.jpg should not inside media directory . But both media and defalt jpg should be in same place.

at 32:15, why do we do instance.profile.save() ? Where is 'profile' with lowercase 'p' defined?

[@huboy2004]

Did you find out why ??

[@erickssonnastor5359]

i feel like it has something to do with "users/views.py" where @login_required is needed for save_profile func to work. Not really sure if this is right tho but let me know if you find out the exact reason

[@umdmrlbro]

This seems to be a Django convention to do with OnetoOne model relationships. In this case, we have a 'Profile' class in our models.py with a OnetoOne relationship to user defined as: user = OnetoOne(User, ...). I don't know the correct terminology here but this is my understanding of it: when we have a view (or in this case a signals.py) where we have direct access to a 'Profile' instance, we can get it's user by doing instance.user.whatever_attribute However, when we try to do this in the opposite direction (i.e. we have access to a 'User' instance and we want the users 'Profile') we do instance.profile.whatever_attribute with the lowercase 'p' in question. When you define a OnetoOne (or any model relationship like FK) relationship, it is obviously only defined within one of the models. In this case, we explicitly define the relationship within the 'Profile' model. I think when we do this, Django does some magic under the hood where it creates the relationship in the opposite direction, i.e. it does the equivalent of profile = OnetoOne (Profile, ...) within the 'User' model. When it does this, it seems to simply take the lowercase of the name of the related model, in this case 'Profile'. Not a satisfactory answer, I know, but Django seems to do a lot of things like this. Another example is when you create a new app in your project. The app config name that you include in your project settings.py is automatically generated by Django in the apps.py, so for an app named 'profile', Django will generate a 'ProfileConfig' class in the app's apps.py file. EDIT: The answer is here docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/topics/db/queries/#additional-methods-to-handle-related-objects "If a model has a ForeignKey, instances of the foreign-key model will have access to a Manager that returns all instances of the first model. By default, this Manager is named FOO_set, where FOO is the source model name, lowercased. This Manager returns QuerySets, which can be filtered and manipulated as described in the “Retrieving objects” section above."

If you are having this error "Instance of 'OneToOneField' has no 'username' member" in users/models at 'return f'{self.user.username} Profile," here is the solution: 1. pip install pylint-django 2. If you are using vscode, go your .vscode/settings.json and add this snipet with the "python.pythonPath" existing there, separate them with comma: "python.linting.pylintArgs": [ "--load-plugins", "pylint_django" ] -> Or, if you have a .pylintrc file, you can add this line to load the plugin: [MASTER] load-plugins=pylint_django Then you are good to go

First of all, thank you so much for your open-source approach and also for making information accessible and free for all. To me, these virtues are very important and admirable. On the other hand, like Einstein said: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." And as also like Da Vinci said: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." So because of that, i firmly believe that the ultimate success in both education and teaching is to simply teach things like a 5 years old can understand. And i believe that this ability is a very rare and exceptional ability that only a few have. Based on the videos of you I watched, I can confidently claim that I have no doubt that you are especially blessed with this ability. Congrats! If we get to the main point, my current progress is halted because of missing of subtitles in your video.

So I made a signal for this: @receiver(post_delete, sender=Profile) def delete_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs): if instance.image != Profile.image.field.default: os.remove(instance.image.path) it works, but if you see something i should change, I will really appriciate your expertise :)

is your profile page responsive for mobile screen??

can you help me please??

[@Rajshah908]

Thank You for helping me, I have one problem when I make new register NewUser3 and after that, I just login in NewUser3 goto profile page I can not view profile default image, I just try your GitHub code, but the same problem is there can you help me

[@Yunghamz]

I have this problem too, did you find a solution?

[@ishanpadalkar9072]

Open the admin page and check if a profile is created for that user or not. If a profile doesn't exist, then the default image will not load!

my image wont load..is there any specific sizes or resolution of image?? tia!

[@kvicar7419]

I have the same problem

[@kvicar7419]

I found the solution. Change settings.ROOT_URL to settings.MEDIA_URL in urls.py file. It helped me, It was just a little silly mistake. Good luck

[@Skaxarrat]

Why do we create a Profile model instead of extending the actual User? There is any benefit on doing it this way?

[@dodokwak]

As far as I understand we use built-in User Model to make a table in the db for users and separately table for objects of Profile. They are connected with OneToOne relationsips. At the end of the video we synchronize creation of a new user and his(her) profile. Benefit - more flexibility as procedure of creation (singing up) is separated from the creation of the profile.

[@davidbrown2806]

With the Profile you are extending the User model. Otherwise you have to totally change the User model as a Custom Model.

[@renitalobo927]

Extending the existing User model¶ There are two ways to extend the default User model without substituting your own model. If the changes you need are purely behavioural and don’t require any change to what is stored in the database, you can create a proxy model based on User. This allows for any of the features offered by proxy models including default ordering, custom managers, or custom model methods. If you wish to store information related to User, you can use a OneToOneField to a model containing the fields for additional information. This one-to-one model is often called a profile model, as it might store non-auth related information about a site user. Ref: docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/auth/customizing/

[@HaileeMiu]

Hey Corey. Since you are using a mac, you can go to system preferences>accessibility>zoom and select "use scroll gesture" and it will allow you to zoom on any part of your screen" (aka the file structure in vs code)

[@coreyms]

Thanks! I might try that

[@raphaelsantanaguitar]

Thank you very much for the class and the series. I have only one complaint: i think the videos are getting less and less conceptual. I see what you're doing, i can be convinced of why you're doing it but the knowledge about how the things work on the background don't scratch the surface. I'll do my homework and read more about those decorators you used, but i hope my input is well received.

[@magikarpusedsplash8881]

He has already made a half hour tutorial on decorators (plus two others), so he does go over it, and at the beginning of the first video he states that he won't be going over basic stuff in detail (he isn't explaining if statements or how function definitions work), because he already has videos on that content and this series is about Django, specifically. tl;dr, if he covered every underlying topic (that he already has videos about) along the way then the series would be at least three times longer.

[@kiranraj-dw5gq]

Amazing Tutorials.Thanks from India .You Rock!!

[@AnilGupta-iv1rz]

When i am creating the user and trying to logged in i am getting RelatedObjectDoesNotExist at /login/ can anyone explain why?

[@saiday]

I don't know why, but on Django 2.2 only the last receiver receive the signal, you need to modify the codes to be like this: gist.github.com/saiday/f9e306b0ba5d73d7601ab8e4f3cc65ed

[@akashgkrishnan9596]

you are facing that issue cause the user you ave used for login does not have profile object present u can create a new user or update the user and create a profile object for the same user. guess you might have found this by the time i have commented. but anyways

[@nz881]

​@@saiday thanks!!! This worked for me!!!

[@sapnajain9166]

It was an amazing tutorial. Just want to suggest rather than righting the whole pile of code for just setting the default pic, you could have simply checked using this {% if user.profilepic.image %}

[@al3ezi]

yes please where to add this ? my default pic not showing !!

[@sapnajain9166]

​@@al3ezi Hi, Actually my code is a little different but can do this code above where you are showing your user actual Pic.Like- {% if not user.profilepic.image %}

[@sapnajain9166]

And if you want to go by his method just add this line in your 'init.py' file of your app name. In this tutorial the app name was 'blog', so add this line in the init.py file of the blog app- default_app_config = 'blog.apps.blogConfig' .I think by mistake he forgot to tell

[@avalancherr4792]

For those whom profile picture didn't load, name your default jpg image just default instead of default.jpg. Otherwise, the image name becomes default.jpg.jpg. Also make sure you are pasting the image in media folder and not profile_pic folder

this part was kinda confusing for me :/ especially signals part. I find it difficult to use django docs. I hope I will get through this

Yes, the signals are a difficult concept to grasp. I am always needing to look at the documentation any time I do signals work as well, so you’re not alone

[@direshkumarpradhan4376]

@@coreyms I wanted to ask that when save_profile method was created in that we write instance.profile.save() but what is 'profile' in this because the class inside the models.py was Profile and not profile so how does it work? Is there any inbuilt variable profile just like user?

31:24 Since you instantiated a profile instance by Profile.objects.create(user=instance) and not by doing Profile(user=instance), the save_profile is not required.
