I am using the default User model in Django and a OneToOneField in a Profile
model where extra info such as user bio is stored.
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
bio = models.TextField(max_length=500, blank=True)
I am able to create basic forms for the two models independently
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class UserForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email']
class ProfileForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ['bio']
What is the best method to create a page where a user can edit fields of either model?
So a User can edit Username,Email or Bio on the same page?
CodePudding user response:
You can put the 2 forms in one template and Django will manage filling forms with the right fields (only exception is the same field name in 2 forms)
def view(request):
if request.method == "GET":
context["userform"]=UserForm()
context["profileform"] =ProfileForm()
else:
userform = UserForm(request.POST)
profileform=ProfileForm(request.POST)
