Question

I’m trying to get the Django Admin interface to display information about my profile. It displays all of my users but no profile information. I’m not quite sure how to get it to work.

I found this code after a quick google search:

from auth.models import UserProfile
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

admin.site.unregister(User)

class UserProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = UserProfile

class UserProfileAdmin(UserAdmin):
    inlines = [UserProfileInline]

admin.site.register(User, UserProfileAdmin)

However, I don’t think that it worked. When I log into the admin page, I see Users, Groups, and Sites. I click Users and I see a list of all of my Users, but no indication of any profile. Clicking on a user shows me info about that user, but still no profile information.

If it will help, here is my model declaration:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    company = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)

And my registration code:

def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        uf = UserForm(request.POST)
        upf = UserProfileForm(request.POST)
        if uf.is_valid() and upf.is_valid():
            user = uf.save()
            userprofile = upf.save(commit=False)#need to get the user profile object first
            userprofile.user = user #then set the user to user
            userprofile.save() #then save to the database
            return HttpResponseRedirect('/auth/login/')
    else:
        uf = UserForm()
        upf = UserProfileForm()
    return render_to_response('register.html', dict(userform=uf,userprofileform=upf),context_instance=RequestContext(request))

I can’t see exactly what’s wrong, but here’s a slightly simpler example that I know works. Put this is any working admin.py. Try adding a trailing comma to your inline– some things break without it.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from accounts.models import UserProfile

admin.site.unregister(User)

class UserProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = UserProfile

class UserProfileAdmin(UserAdmin):
    inlines = [ UserProfileInline, ]

admin.site.register(User, UserProfileAdmin)
