Re: get_profile() function can not resolve keyword 'user' -- no 'user' field exists in model.py or data tables.

The offending lines are these right here:

File "/var/www/MYPROJECT/data/bookstor/profiles/views.py" in create_profile

  49.         profile_obj = request.user.get_profile() ## If existing profile found 

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.py" in get_profile

  449.                 self._profile_cache = model._default_manager.using(self._state.db).get(user__id__exact=self.id)

Line 49 in profiles.views is calling get_profile on the user object. In turn, it's trying to dereference the user id in django.contrib.auth.models.

The get_profile() method is deprecated as of 1.5 (although not removed until 1.7). Your best bet is to stop using it in favor of custom user models (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/releases/1.5/#auth-profile-module and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/auth/customizing/#auth-custom-user) because eventually you'll want to get yourself to a version of Django that's actually getting security updates.

While in the process of upgrading from 1.1 to 1.6

get_profile() returns a field error.

Exception Type: FieldError

Exception Value: Cannot resolve keyword 'user' into field. Choices are: 

date_joined, email, first_name, groups, id, is_active, is_staff, is_superuser, last_login, last_name, logentry...

On close inspection there is no 'user' field defined in  

_ myproject.profiles.models 

_ ...\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\models.py

_ or in the db auth_user or profile tables.

Drilling into all of the files listed in the traceback, (including site packages) 

I can find no instance of 'user' being assigned as a field.

*  Where else can I look to find 'user' and/or what is causing the problem.

Please advise
