Re: UserProfile.user" must be a "User" instance. django-registration

Hey Nikhil,

You can check a couple of things here:

1. Have you made sure that the user is logged in? You can do this by adding @login_required decorator to the  completingprofile view. (This is the most likely reason)

2. Instead of ForeignKey, make user field as OneToOneField. (but I am pretty sure this does not cause any problem)

3. Check that AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE variable is set in your settings.

the user is redirected to the ModelForm page of UserProfile. I am filling the details and trying to save it, however i am getting the above error.


Traceback:-

    return render_to_response("myprofile/profile_page.html",
