RelatedObjectDoesNotExist: User has no userprofile

Question

So I\'ve extended my user with the field score like this:

models.py:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(Us         


        

Answer 1

You have to create a userprofile for the user first:

profile = UserProfile.objects.create(user=request.user)

In your views.py you can use get_or_create so that a userprofile is created for a user if the user doesn't have one.

player, created = UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)

UPDATE: For automatically creating user profiles every time a new user is made, use singals. In myapp/signals.py do something like this:

@receiver(post_save, sender=User, dispatch_uid='save_new_user_profile')
def save_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    user = instance
    if created:
        profile = UserProfile(user=user)
        profile.save()
