Question

I have read this and I have one question. How to take access to the ‘other fields’?

models:

class UsersProfile(models.Model):
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.user.last_name
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    car_num = models.IntegerField('car ID')
    captain = models.BooleanField()

views:

@login_required
def profile(request):
    return render(request, 'profile.html')

So, after authentication, in profile works only user.last_login + etc, but not user.car_num or user.captain. I read about get_profile(), but where I need it to write?

profile = request.user.get_profile()

If it in views, how to return?

Answer 1

You can define a related_name for your OneToOneField, like this:

    user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='profile')

and then access the corresponding fields using

request.user.profile.car_num
