Python Django Tutorial: Full-Featured Web App Part 9 - Update User Profile 

There is an issue with the code in this video that I fixed in the later videos. If you're getting an error that says something like "save() got an unexpected keyword argument 'force_insert'" then please update the save method in users/models.py to the following: def save(self, *args, **kwargs): super().save(*args, **kwargs)

The dog in the picture is the loveliest

That enctype at 6:45 screwed me up real good for 4 days trying to debug the program. I'm glad Corey pointed it out. Thanks Corey.

Been involved in software development for over 30 years and wanting to "build again" on my own and I have to say these tutorials are really awesome!

best teacher ever . dude you explained every little thing so clearly !! love from india

Hi Corey, I have been following your tutorials from the beginning and I understand your explanation quite well. Thank you very much for posting these videos.

I'm in love with your coding, thanks for the quality videos so much useful information.

Great series so far, thorough but simple.

16:40 The Highlight of my morning. Thank you

This is the most useful tutorial I encountered while learning Django. Excellent stuff. 1 small suggestion for the above lesson: Instead of having this twice in views.py: u_form = UserUpdateForm( instance=request.user ) (for GET) u_form = UserUpdateForm( request.POST, instance=request.user ) (for POST) This can be done in 1 line like this: u_form = UserUpdateForm(request.POST or None, instance=request.user)

You are the best teacher for django out there. You teach professionally 👍👍

For blog author image, I just copied the line from users/profile.html and changed the class from account-img to article-img, that too worked. Thanks great explanation

Thank you so much Corey Schafer for your Tutorials ....its really really Helping me ..No words to describe it

Great video series, I am thoroughly enjoying this.

Another great one. Thanks, Corey!

AMAZING AND CLEAR TUTORIALS WELL DONE COREY!!!

You are The G.O.A.T. ...Your explanation is inch-perfect

I was trying to make a change to my website. For the last 5 days, I have just wanted to add an image field in my blog, but when I tried to update my Image it won't change today I saw at 7:33 that I want to add an enctype in the form tag. I applied that changes in my HTML file and it works. Thanks a lot, Corey Schefar

Wonderful Corey!

This is just excellent! Thanks a lot for the content!

Words can't explain how much i want to thank you for this awsome tutorial

Mr. Corey, you are simple THE BEST!

Hi Corey, So far so good, you explained it very well, thanks

Corey is so amazing, he anticipates the sections where you could make a mistake. For me I misspelled 'multipart' to mutipart and there was no error but the uploaded image wasn't getting updated. Got back to video and found out he advised about the same trap.

You must get a lot of watchtime from these you deserve all those minutes and more

Great tutor! Keep making such videos

i am on tutorial 9 and realised i am not a sub yet!... Thank you for this amazing series so far... i went through lots of tutorials but none of them go the ways you do. 💕 will support you when i am able to ✌

You are awesome ❣️ my friend. Love from India

This series is incredible, thank you Corey :) I think the enctype thing at 7:35 needs a special emphasis. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why the username and email updated fine, but the image wouldn't. Putting this here to hopefully save someone the headache.

Thanks Corey.Awesome Tuts

Thanks a lot for the course, it's amazing , you are really a good teacher :-D

Thanks Corey.

How proud can one be of his dog? I do the same with mine xD

Corey, you're a legend, thank you so much! Just a small thing that can help; maybe it will be better if you'll use keyword arguments more often because it helps clarify what is the meaning of every argument we pass. For instance, in the profile function inside the views.py module, we can also write it like this: def profile(request): # u_form = user_form, p_form = profile_form if request.method == 'POST': u_form = UserUpdateForm(data=request.Post, instance=request.user) p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(data=request.Post, files=request.FILES, instance=request.user.profile) else: u_form = UserUpdateForm(instance=request.user) p_form = ProfileUpdateForm(instance=request.user.profile) And then it is much more readable.

Dude thank you very much!! Had a prob with class based update view so had to use Post function in my CBV !

Great tutorials! Thanks

you're the man, man!

That is an incredible content! Greetings from Spain

Thank u for this awesome video and series

That's a really, really cute puppy.

Thank you for this best tutorial in django. As you mentioned, please also do a video on other ways to resize video that we can use on larger project for efficiency as well as third-party packages.

Thanks Corey!

Oh my god, super().save() this is really super Awesome. So far so good. Thanks

You have saved me from failing this class 😭 Subbing for sure, thank you

I have completed this part too , really good explanation, now i just have few videos remaining, also i'm coding along, so it's a great experience

Awesome Tutorial Thanks Sir. Take love from Bangladesh

Please keep on making amazing video like this forever >

Using this tutorial to catch up with Django for a School Project.. hahaha even with the depricated methods by post date Django 5.0, I still love the learning path and word choice for explanation.. THumBs Up

Awesome article.

Thank you sooooooo much for your excellent content on python

Just Awesome man you are great

You're amazing dude thanks alot !

Hi, Corey, This is an amazing series. I really want to change my tech stack. ( from java to python)

I have to say thank you very much for the great tutorial. I recreated users app and watched part 6-8 several times, and finally able to do parts 6-8 without watching the tutorial. However, part 6-8 is not a joke- I studied basic OOP, but not like this. Luckly, Mr. Schafer, sir you have explained thigs pretty well for me to understand. Once again great tutorial and thank you very much.

Really love it!

Awesome. Thank you.

thanku sir for this amazing tutorial series

If your form is working fine but the image isn't being updated, make sure to check you haven't misspelled anything from [enctype="multipart/form-data"] in .html file! I made a typo here which caused the exact same problem, which seems many have also encountered in this comment section

this is the best toturial

Great tutorial!

Hi Corey, Many-many thanks for this great and practical tutorials. I have learned a lot from this tutorials. About resizing the image, please advise me to learn more about it. Thanks. Nyoman, from Bali, Indonesia

You are a lifesaver

Awesome bro thanks best video ever.....

Hey Corey, would recommend pinning that fix to video 8 as well, many including myself having issues and some of the suggested fixes may not be the best, thanks!

Thank you!

Too great to stop watching.

great video

Thank you teaching me.

nice video, thanks

Thank you very much!

First, I thank you for your kind heart of sharing your knowledge. My question is, how can we delete the old profile picture file, the one that we are going to update. Instead of creating a new file with a suffix added to the filename which is, I noticed, signifies what the latest profile picture is, for the same filename update. What we need is to just delete the old profile picture all throughout. Since for this purpose, it is not that critical for whatever purpose of data rollback or whatever that may be. Please do a video on this too. This is a big help because the effect of this is critical. If not deleted, old, no longer used files, linger on the server which is costly. The way you teach shows your maturity and your experience in the field. I don't mind you teaching the detailed approach, just like what you did in the django deployment in Linux server. I appreciate it so much. We don't have to search for more info. That video alone is enough. If we need more, it's just for some stuff, but the main topic is discussed with full content. Again, I am, and I know most of us who watch your tutorials, are grateful for your effort. Great job Corey !

Thank you

2021 still useful :D

Hi, thanks for these videos, they're great! Quick question/clarification: the reason we were able to access the image from the homepage via {{ post.author.profile.image.url }} is because the author column of the post table is a foreign key to the user username table as set in the blog app models + the profile has a one to one relationship with the the user table as set in the user app models - right? It seems kind of intuitive, but I'm looking through the docs to see what would work with this and what wouldn't and I get the sense that in the other frameworks I've experienced (mostly PHP ones like Laravel, Symphony, Yii + Flask) one would have to be much more explicit about these connections - but maybe it's just intuitive b/c you're so smooth and make it seem so obvious. If you, or anyone reading this, could lead me the right documentation, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

Your dog is adorable and cute

If ur watching this course and you are beginner I would recommend you to start with learning Flask first. Yeah Django is amazing but to much stuff if working out of the box. P.S. Tutorial is great!

hello there corey, you're videos are amazing, I just want to let you know that after I followed the video my accounts suddenly went wrong so I just want to say that I added this code : def save(self, *args, **kwargs): super(Profile, self).save(*args, **kwargs) img = Image.open(self.image.path) if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300: output_size = (300,300) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(self.image.path)' and everything went totally fine.

i've laughed like for 3 - 4 mins for this cute dogo hahahah :)

Thank you sir🙏🙏

Hello Mr.Corey, I really like all your videos, i have a request if you can do a tutorial for reactJS and django application that would be really helpful. Best Regards, R

First of all, great tutorials, I've been binge-watching them since this morning. Secondly, I've run into a really weird bug or behavior I do not understand when resizing the images. At first my images wasn't being resized properly so I sprinkled some logging in the save function of the Profile class. Just before the if-statement I logged both img.width as well as self.image.width and the two differed, with the former set to the limit of 300, while the latter had the original size. I then continued to add more logging and added an else statement to make it something like this: needs_resize = img.width > 300 or img.height > 300 logger.error(f'{img.width}x{img.height} {needs_resize}') logger.error(f'{self.image.width}x{self.image.height}') if needs_resize: logger.error("In resize before work") output_size = (300, 300) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(self.image.path) logger.error("In resize after work") else: logger.error("No resize needed") The weird thing is that as the above is written, I will get this output: 190x300 False 515x812 No resize needed If I on the other hand comment out the line img.save(self.image.path) I will get this output: 515x812 True 515x812 In resize before work In resize after work Any clue on what's going on? It seems like the img.save function gets called before the if-statement is evaluated somehow.

That dog is so cute

If you're having an issue resizing the image and getting the error Image is not defined, you can try import pillow library "from PIL import Image" and it will work right.

Corey is great...however, in this video he's using square images to make those perfect circle avatar thumbnails. If you try a non-square image, it will looked kind of skewed. if you want to resize by middle crop to his dimensions. use this... in models.py import an additional Pillow function: From PIL import Image,ImageOps then later in the function def save if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300: output_size = (300, 300) resized = ImageOps.fit(img, output_size, Image.ANTIALIAS) resized.save(self.image.path) this basically crops the image to 300x300 square so that the circle bootstrap and css he provided work.

Great tutorial. In the resizing of the images, how about instead of overwriting the save method, we resize the image before committing the form? Something like: if profile_picture_form.is_valid(): instance = profile_picture_form.save(commit=False) img = Image.open(instance.profile_picture.path) if img.height > 400 or img.width > 400: output_size = (400, 400) img.thumbnail(output_size) img.save(instance.profile_picture.path) instance.save()

thanks

Hi Corey, thanks for this great tutorial. I have followed and created the app, and it's working. How can I add a drop-down list on the profile update form, for the user to choose city of residence ?

signals are Great.

Amazing dog :)

19:35 imo you should pass *args **kwargs to both `save` methods. Also, I'm not sure Image closes automatically. I'd use `with open` on that `self.image.path`.

Nice Dog.

What a nice dog

We actually don't need to add email field explicitly in UserUpdateForm. As User model already has an email field. We can convert email field from User to model to form field just like username field

Is to late to ask for additional suggestions about resizing the image? I like what you have, it works, but would be cool to see your other research, too.
