Python Django Tutorial: Full-Featured Web App Part 9 - Update User Profile

[@coreyms]

There is an issue with the code in this video that I fixed in the later videos. If you're getting an error that says something like "save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert'" then please update the save method in users/models.py to the following: def save(self, *args, **kwargs): super().save(*args, **kwargs)

[@yehonatan3000]

Corey, you're a legend, thank you so much! Just a small thing that can help; maybe it will be better if you'll use keyword arguments more often because it helps clarify what is the meaning of every argument we pass. For instance, in the profile function inside the views.py module, we can also write it like this: def profile(request): # u_form = user_form, p_form = profile_form if request.method == 'POST': u_form = UserUpdateForm(data=request.Post, instance=request.user) p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(data=request.Post, files=request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile) else: u_form = UserUpdateForm(instance=request.user) p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(instance=request.user.profile) And then it is much more readable.

This is the most useful tutorial I encountered while learning Django. Excellent stuff. 1 small suggestion for the above lesson: Instead of having this twice in views.py: u_form = UserUpdateForm( instance=request.user ) (for GET) u_form = UserUpdateForm( request.POST, instance=request.user ) (for POST) This can be done in 1 line like this: u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST or None, instance=request.user)

If your form is working fine but the image isn't being updated, make sure to check you haven't misspelled anything from [enctype="multipart/form-data"] in .html file! I made a typo here which caused the exact same problem, which seems many have also encountered in this comment section

Hi Corey, I have been following your tutorials from the beginning and I understand your explanation quite well. Thank you very much for posting these videos.

[@Sirreal45]

Corey is great...however, in this video he's using square images to make those perfect circle avatar thumbnails. If you try a non-square image, it will looked kind of skewed. if you want to resize by middle crop to his dimensions. use this... in models.py import an additional Pillow function: From PIL import Image,ImageOps then later in the function def save if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300: output_size = (300, 300) resized = ImageOps.fit(img, output_size, Image.ANTIALIAS) resized.save(self.image.path) this basically crops the image to 300x300 square so that the circle bootstrap and css he provided work.

[@dcdemeo]

Five years later, Image.ANTIALIAS is deprecated. Use Image.LANCZOS instead.

[@ΠΑΝΟΣΚΩΣΤΟΠΟΥΛΟΣ-η3χ]

there is a mistake here i think. the signals interfere with the views and the save method from Profile is called twice when updating the profile(you can check it yourselves by putting a print statement) i fixed by by removing the 2nd signal save_profile as the save method is always being called from the views. also the overrided method needs args and kwargs because the parent function (super) needs them to function.

[@jacobshore]

Hi, thanks for these videos, they're great! Quick question/clarification: the reason we were able to access the image from the homepage via {{ post.author.profile.image.url }} is because the author column of the post table is a foreign key to the user username table as set in the blog app models + the profile has a one to one relationship with the the user table as set in the user app models - right? It seems kind of intuitive, but I'm looking through the docs to see what would work with this and what wouldn't and I get the sense that in the other frameworks I've experienced (mostly PHP ones like Laravel, Symphony, Yii + Flask) one would have to be much more explicit about these connections - but maybe it's just intuitive b/c you're so smooth and make it seem so obvious. If you, or anyone reading this, could lead me the right documentation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hey Corey, after testing the app, I encountered the problem while trying to register new user - save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert'. I came around it by adding **kwargs into the Profile save function: def save(self, **kwargs): super().save() img = Image.open(self.image.path) if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300: output_size = (300, 300) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(self.image.path) Is that ok in your opinion?

[@dikdikoobraz2875]

[@daksh_sagar]

Signature of the base method in class Model is save(self, **kwargs) and method overriding it should have the same signature, so adding **kwargs as an argument to save makes sense.

Great tutorial. In the resizing of the images, how about instead of overwriting the save method, we resize the image before committing the form? Something like: if profile_picture_form.is_valid(): instance = profile_picture_form.save(commit=False) img = Image.open(instance.profile_picture.path) if img.height > 400 or img.width > 400: output_size = (400, 400) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(instance.profile_picture.path) instance.save()

[@pawanchhangani7528]

You are awesome ❣️ my friend. Love from India

[@mihaly-wm9tb]

After resizing the image, it is rotated 90 degrees anticlockwise. To fix that, one can use the built-in rotate method of the Image class in the pillow package. See below code with rotate() being applied to the resized image. if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300: output_size = (300, 300) img.thumbnail(output_size) img = img.rotate(-90) img.save(self.image.path)

First of all, great tutorials, I've been binge-watching them since this morning. Secondly, I've run into a really weird bug or behavior I do not understand when resizing the images. At first my images wasn't being resized properly so I sprinkled some logging in the save function of the Profile class. Just before the if-statement I logged both img.width as well as self.image.width and the two differed, with the former set to the limit of 300, while the latter had the original size. I then continued to add more logging and added an else statement to make it something like this: needs_resize = img.width > 300 or img.height > 300 logger.error(f'{img.width}x{img.height} {needs_resize}') logger.error(f'{self.image.width}x{self.image.height}') if needs_resize: logger.error("In resize before work") output_size = (300, 300) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(self.image.path) logger.error("In resize after work") else: logger.error("No resize needed") The weird thing is that as the above is written, I will get this output: 190x300 False 515x812 No resize needed If I on the other hand comment out the line img.save(self.image.path) I will get this output: 515x812 True 515x812 In resize before work In resize after work Any clue on what's going on? It seems like the img.save function gets called before the if-statement is evaluated somehow.

If you're watching this in 2022, go profile.html, in the first img class (where profile url is linked) add style="border-radius= 50%" before src="". That will make it a circle :) edit: to make it look less stretched, make sure the HTML class points to the css div account-image

Question for around 3:00-4:00 minute mark: Why does UserRegisterForm and the UserUpdateForm have the attribute "email", but not "Username"?

So why do we need the email attribute at all?

you're both fucking legends everyone else with this problem: don't forget to add the context variable in views.py

[@thomasandreasparpoulas9544]

Avvv Qvvv you are actually the one that pointed the spot, I was too burned to find the 'render method'... views.py and inside return render, with a coma after 'users/profile.html', add "context" (without quotes)

that's cool i was only able to fix my problem by reading what the above dudes said

It will be great if you can make a little tutorial show us how to delete old images while saving new in the profile section. Thanks for your awesome work man.

# Delete Previous Image To Avoid Duplicated Images Of Same User. previous_image = os.path.join(settings.MEDIA_ROOT, request.user.profile.image.name) os.remove(previous_image) I did it you can add this code after checking request method before saving new profile

Thanks for the video Corey. It appears the UserUpdateForm doesn't provide any feedback when a user tries to update their username/email to one that's already in use. How would you go about handling that? I'm sure it's possible with with a little documentation digging. But if anybody has a quick solution, I'd love to hear it.

While resizing the image, does it maintain the image or squishes to match the dimensions?
