The error message is telling you that the user has no profile
(Specifically there is no record in the table schedule.profile related
to the user).

Your app needs to take care of creating the user profile, even if it
going to be empty. What I have done in my case is I force the user to
create a profile when they first log on by checking if the profile
exists.

        # Check if logged in user has profile, if not redirect to
create profile
        try:
                profile = request.user.get_profile()
        except:
                return HttpResponseRedirect("/createprofile/")
