Question

I’m trying to get the profile of users with the get_profile() method. My AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE is well set I guess but I’m getting this error message:

Unable to load the profile model, check AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE in your project settings

Do you think it’s because I’ve linked the profile model to the user with a foreignKey field instead of a OneToOne field?

I’m asking before proceeding to changes because I don’t want to break my app.

Answer 1

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'app_containing_profile_model.name_of_profile_model'

Say you have a profiles app with models.py containing the profile model, defined by the class Profile. Then you’d have:

AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'profiles.Profile'

Is your project already configured as such?
