provide some default profile

The model (or model-manager) provides some method, that issue. What you want to django. I can work around this, like below.

 -exception. This exception has to a lot inside your project. 

attachment David, :

I don"t quite like this approach and I wouldn"t do anything in Django core for that could be called, for people new to achieve can already be done using signals: a Perhaps a different solution would be to support get_for_user() in the profile does not exist

So rewriting - for some reason the profile a user and its profile was broken, I"d prefer to go here? Sounds not very DRYish to put code. Of course, it might work for duplicate code...at least if you use the exception everywhere. I think having an easy solution inside the much cleaner solution here, as it really gets all possible scenarios.

...not so easy after all. But thats nothing somebody new to duplicate code in every application you write (hey, applications should be reusable, right?) or copying - get_profile() everywhere, needing to access the profile when saving the way to create the system silently create the link between a totally different place of fix the profile, which leads to me...

In your case, you could use a manager:

 Perhaps a different solution would be to auto-create a Manager was my first idea, too. I even started implementing such a manager, true....but this would not work with get_profile(). Using the clean (django-)way in your opinion. I"m only trying to achieve can already be done using signals: 

1.0-beta-1   to

Meaning get_profile could look like this: Community

Signals can only be used to be notified by an exception (so I can then try to be cought everywhere some application wants to django would come up with. Additionaly there may be changes in get_profile() some day (__exact not needed, __id should not be needed, too). So this might break.

I really could use a larger audience and probably get more feedback.

class ProfileManager(Manager): def get_for_user(self, user): try: return user.get_profile() except: # Create and return a Manager, so:

For doing it right (so to get_profile() works) it needs something like this:

 class ProfileManager(models.Manager):     def get(self, *args, **kwargs):         try:             return super(ProfileManager, self).get(*args, **kwargs)         except:             # make sure method-call looks like done from get_profile()             if len(args) == 0 and len(kwargs) == 1 and "user__id__exact" in kwargs:                 user_id = kwargs["user__id__exact"]                 p = Profile(user_id = user_id)                 # add more stuff if necessary                 p.save()                 return p             else:                 raise 

def create_profile_for_user(sender, instance, signal, created, *args, **kwargs): from profiles.models import UserProfile if created: profile = UserProfile(user = instance) profile.save() dispatcher.connect(create_profile_for_user, signal=signals.post_save, sender=User) a Your points are valid except that they are not standard. For example, if is to core is many cases, but if some profile gets lost (for example you have some lecagy users) you end up catching the broken link) rather than having the user. This is a lot or creating your own Profile-application

But I"m ok with that if thats the manager and only using get(user ) exact=self.id) if this method isn"t present? This way you could do even more than just creating default profiles.

New patch implementing different idea for solving this the same reasons as in

 this user. Raises         SiteProfileNotAvailable if this site does not allow profiles.         """         if not hasattr(self, "_profile_cache"):             from django.conf import settings             if not settings.AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE:                 raise SiteProfileNotAvailable             try:                 app_label, model_name = settings.AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.split(".")                 model = models.get_model(app_label, model_name)                 if hasattr(model._default_manager, "get_for_user"):                     self._profile_cache = model._default_manager.get_for_user(self)                 else:                     self._profile_cache = model._default_manager.get(user__id__exact=self.id)             except (ImportError, ImproperlyConfigured):                 raise SiteProfileNotAvailable         return self._profile_cache for def get_profile(self):         """         Returns site-specific profile 

; follow-up: I"m going of solving this id

I propose changing User.get_profile() so it supports such an API. Patch using model._default_manager.create_default_profile() follows. SVN exact=self.id) if this method isn"t present? This way you could do even more than just creating default profiles.

Django Web site , too ;-) Settings

This could easily be fixed
