Django - 'UserProfile' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

I want to create a form which allows user (extended OneToOne by UserProfile) to became a translator. This means that if the User is logged-in, he/she can click on Become a Translator button which redirects them to pre-filled form. This form should be pre-filled if there is not null such attribute in UserProfile.

So if somebody has already filled his last_name, the last name should be prefilled in this form, otherwise, he has to fill it because for Translator it's required.

So I've tried to put user.userprofile argument as an attribute of the form class but it raises:

 'UserProfile' object has no attribute 'get'

Could you give me some hint?

Answer 1

You are passing request.user.userprofile as a positional argument to TranslatorRegistrationForm in this line:

register_as_translator_form = TranslatorRegistrationForm(request.user.userprofile)

You should pass it as a keyword argument because Django forms expect data (POST/GET) as the first positional argument.

If your form accepts userprofile keyword argument in the __init__ method, you should pass it as a keyword argument instead. Like this:

register_as_translator_form = TranslatorRegistrationForm(user=request.user.userprofile)

---

If you want to pass initial data to the form, you can pass it using initial keyword argument instead.

initial_data = {'name': 'John'}
register_as_translator_form = TranslatorRegistrationForm(initial=initial_data)

Note: Initial data keys must match your form fields.
