model

class Profile(models.Model): user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE) image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics') def __str__(self): return f'{self.user.username} Profile' def save(self, *args,**kwargs): super().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)

Showing the profile of the logged in user

You obtain the Profile object for the logged in user with:

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404 @login_required def profile_detail(request): context = { 'profile': get_object_or_404(Profile, user=request.user) } return render(request, 'users/user_detail.html', context)

Showing the profile of the author

If you want to show the profile of the author, then you should pass it to the url. You thus can make a path that looks like:

urlpatterns = [ # …, path('profile/<int:pk>', views.profile_detail, name='user_detail') # …, ]

in your template, you can render the url with:

<a class="mr-2" href="{% url 'user_detail' pk=post.author.pk %}">{{ post.author }}</a>

and in the view, you can then use the primary key of that user:

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404 @login_required def profile_detail(request, pk): context = { 'profile': get_object_or_404(Profile, pk=pk) } return render(request, 'users/user_detail.html', context)

it still gives me only current logged user profile even if i click on some other profile link
@gucisz: did you use the second solution? Note that you need to specify the {% url 'user_detail pk=post.author.pk %} for the links to these profiles.
@gucisz: what is the url you use to visit when looking at a profile?
i have only one link cuz i have a list of posts edited by for loop in this template
@gucisz: what I mean is, what link is generated to that profile. What URL do you visit when clicking the profile page of an author?

urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('register/', user_views.register, name='register'), path('profile/', user_views.profile, name='profile'), path('login/', auth_views.LoginView.as_view(template_name='users/login.html'), name='login'), path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='users/logout.html'), name='logout'), path('password-reset/', auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='users/password_reset.html'), name='password_reset'), path('password-reset/done/', auth_views.PasswordResetDoneView.as_view(template_name='users/password_reset_done.html'), name='password_reset_done'), path('password-reset-confirm/<uidb64>/<token>/', auth_views.PasswordResetConfirmView.as_view(template_name='users/password_reset_confirm.html'), name='password_reset_confirm'), path('password-reset-complete/', auth_views.PasswordResetCompleteView.as_view(template_name='users/password_reset_complete.html'), name='password_reset_complete'), path('profile-detail/<int:pk>/', user_views.profile_detail, name='user_detail'), path('', include('blog.urls')),
