I’m storing some additional per-user information using the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.
We can access the user in a Django template using {{ request.user }} but how do we access fields in the profile since the profile is only accessible via a function user.get_profile() ?
Is it really required to explicitly pass the profile into the template every time?
Use
{{ request.user.get_profile.whatever }}. Django’s templating language automatically calls things that are callable – in this case, the.get_profile()method.
