Question

Hi Stackoverflow people,

I am using the Userena package for my user registration site. The package allows to change the template or the form class during with the call of the views.py function “def profile_edit” (if I understood it correctly).

The full header of the view function is:

def profile_edit(request, username, edit_profile_form=EditUserProfileForm,
             template_name='userena/profile_form.html', success_url=None,
             extra_context=None):

The demo project calls the view function in the template through the urls.py with the statement

{% url userena_profile_edit user.username %}

When I try to change the form parameter for example with

{% url userena_profile_edit user.username edit_profile_form=EditUserProfileForm %}

I get the follow error, which does not make sense to me:

Caught ValueError while rendering: Don't mix *args and **kwargs in call to reverse()!

I have also tried to the specify the kwargs dict, but it did not work either.

{% url userena_profile_edit user.username kwargs={'edit_profile_form':EditUserProfileForm} %}

How can I correctly call the function? I am confused why the last statement would not work.

Thank you for your help!

how about making the username a kwarg?

{% url userena_profile_edit username=user.username edit_profile_form=EditUserProfileForm %}
