Accessing user details in django - python

I have a question. I have a blog where users can log in and post or comment something. When they are posting or commenting the text appears with their name as links on the right side(see picture). Now I want to have a userprofile page where the email name etc. are displayed. So I have to grab the name from the first template and use it. Now I can grab their name :) but I don't know how to use them. For example the users name is alex. I can display alex on the new template but what I need is something like that. alex.email or alex.name. Thank you very much.
view.py
#login_required
def user_profile(request,username):
return render(request, "user_profile.html",{'username':username})
home.html this is the template where I want to grab his name
{% extends "base.html" %}
{%block content%}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<!-- Blog Entries Column -->
<div class="col-md-8 mt-3 left mx-auto">
{% for posts in postmodel_list %}
<div class="card mb-4 block">
<a class="overlay" href="{% url 'post_detail' posts.slug %}"style="text-decoration:none"> </a>
<div class="card-body inner">
<h2 class="card-title">{{ posts.post }}</h2>
<p style="text-align:right;" class="card-text text-muted h6"><a style="text-decoration:none" href="{%url 'user_profile' posts.author %}">#{{ posts.author }}</a> </p>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-4 float-right ">
<button style= "position: fixed; bottom:50px;" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#exampleModal" data-whatever="#mdo">Add New Post</button>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
.card{
box-shadow: 0 16px 48px #E3E7EB;

{%endblock content%}
and here I want to have his informations.
user_profile.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{%block content%}
{%load static%}
<div class="card float-left">
<img src="{% static 'images/img.jpg' %}" alt="John" style="width:100%">
{%if user.is_authenticated%}
<h3>{{user.first_name}} {{user.last_name}}</h3>
<p>{{user.email}}</p>
{%endif%}
<p class="title">CEO & Founder, Beehive</p>
<p>Istanbul Technical University</p
<p><button>Contact</button></p>
</div>
of course now it displays the information of the logged in user but I want to change it depending on which user he clicks
EDIT
now I am trying to get two models and the data from the first template to display on the second template with a cbv. Here is my new view.
class UserProfile(ListView):
template_name = 'user_profile.html'
model=PostModel
user=User.objects.get(username=username)
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
context = super(UserProfile, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
context['posts'] = PostModel.objects.filter(author=user).order_by('created_on')
context['comments'] = CommentModel.objects.filter(author=user).order_by('created_on')
context['profile']=user
return context
but here I got the error:
name 'username' is not defined

You'll have to look the user up, e.g.:
#login_required
def user_profile(request, username):
if request.user.username != username:
user = User.objects.get(username=username)
else:
user = request.user
return render(request, "user_profile.html", {'profile': user})
You'll need to use {{ profile.username }} etc. in your template (Django has reserved {{ user.xxx }} for itself and will overwrite it.
You should probably add some more permissions to the view. As presented above, any logged in user can view any other logged in user's profile, i.e. change the if to:
if request.user.username != username and can_view(request.user, username):
....
(then implement the can_view(userobject, username) function).

#login_required
def user_profile(request, username):
if request.user.username != username:
user = User.objects.get(username=username)
else:
user = request.user
posts=PostModel.objects.filter(author=user)
comments=CommentModel.objects.filter(author=user)
return render(request, "user_profile.html", {'profile': user,'posts':posts,'comments':comments})
I solved my problem so and I am happy :)

Django UpdateView Bootstrap Modal - i've got empty form in modal window

I've got empty Bootstrap modal form with Django UpdateView(CBV)
The most important question without using js , I will not be able to display data in a modal window? (I only use bootstrap.bundle.min.js in base.html)
Modal window show fields of empty form

improperly configured at /18/delete, Django views issue

I have searched through the other questions similar to my own problem and have come to no solution so im hoping someone can help me figure out where i went wrong.
I'm trying to implement a delete post option in my blog program but it is throwing the following error once you click the 'delete' button:
ImproperlyConfigured at /18/delete/
Deletepost is missing a QuerySet. Define Deletepost.model, Deletepost.queryset, or override Deletepost.get_queryset().
I am nearly sure its a problem with my URLS.py though what exactly i cannot figure out.
the following is the code in question:

Any ideas?
I think it should be model not form_class so:
class Deletepost(LoginRequiredMixin, DeleteView):
model = Post
success_url = reverse_lazy('blog:home')
template_name = 'templates/post.html'
def test_func(self):
post = self.get_object()
if self.request.user == post.author:
return True
return False
#SunderamDubey's answer is correct. The test_func will however not run, since this is method of the UserPassesTestMixin [Django-doc], not LoginRequiredMixin.
But using a test function as is done here is not efficient: it will fetch the same object twice from the database. You can simply restrict the queryset, like:
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin
from django.urls import reverse_lazy
from django.views.generic import DeleteView
class DeletePostView(LoginRequiredMixin, DeleteView):
model = Post
success_url = reverse_lazy('blog:home')
template_name = 'templates/post.html'
def get_queryset(self, *args, **kwargs):
return (
super().get_queryset(*args, **kwargs).filter(author=self.request.user)
)
This will do filtering at the database side, and thus return a 404 in case the logged in user is not the author of the Post object you want to delete.
In the template, you will need to make a mini-form to make a POST request, for example:
<form method="post" action="{% url 'delete_post' post.id %}">
{% csrf_token %}
<button class="btn btn-outline-danger" type="submit">Delete</button>
</form>
In my opinion, you should change url to below
'path('delete/int:pk', views.Deletepost.as_view(), name='delete_post'),'
if didn't work you can do this
def delete_post(request, post_id):
post = Post.objects.get(pk=post_id)
post.delete()
return redirect('blog:home')

I am not sure is the post function is error

When I press the button to post something, it will return me to the main page, not stay in the forum page and show me what I just post.
Here is the view.py
def forum(request):
profile = Profile.objects.all()
if request.method == "POST":
user = request.user
image = request.user.profile.image
content = request.POST.get('content','')
post = Post(user1=user, post_content=content, image=image)
post.save()
alert = True
return render(request, "forum.html", {'alert':alert})
posts = Post.objects.filter().order_by('-timestamp')
return render(request, "forum.html", {'posts':posts})
def discussion(request, myid):
post = Post.objects.filter(id=myid).first()
replies = Replie.objects.filter(post=post)
if request.method=="POST":
user = request.user
image = request.user.profile.image
desc = request.POST.get('desc','')
post_id =request.POST.get('post_id','')
reply = Replie(user = user, reply_content = desc, post=post, image=image)
reply.save()
alert = True
return render(request, "discussion.html", {'alert':alert})
return render(request, "discussion.html", {'post':post, 'replies':replies})
Here is the html5 code, I don't know why I cannot post the full html code, it tell me there is an error.

Does your HTML include form tag with method="post" ? Example below
Make sure to include your button inside this form tag. All should work after that.
<form method="post">

How to scroll lock a Django HTML Web Page

I am currently using a page that has a list of in-line forms
However when the user enters submits each form (line) they are sent back to the top of the page. This becomes really tedious as the users need to enter data quickly and can't when they need to scroll for 2 minutes every time they add an entry.
Does anyone know how to implement a scroll lock to stock this from happening

If I understand correctly, you can add #<some_id> to the action attribute of your forms and when the page loads the browser will automatically put the element with the id="some_id" in view.
Example:
<form id="form1" action="#form2" method='POST'>...</form>
...
<form id="form2" action="" method='POST'>...</form>
If you submit #form1 when the page reloads the browser will scroll to #form2 even if it's at the bottom of the page.
Or if you only have one form, you can do:
<form id="form1" action="#form1" method='POST'>...</form>
EDIT:
<form id="form{{forloop.counter0}}" action="#form{{forloop.counter}}" class="form-group mt-4" method="post" {% if unit_number.data.value in created_nums %} style="background-color: rgb(231, 224, 224); " {% endif %} >

How can I use two different functions in one HTML page Django

I wanted to create a website where I can List all created forms and also create forms in the same page. But I could'n figure it out. Firstly I tried it with two classes which linked to the same HTML file but then I read that this is wrong then I tried to write the two classes in one with the get post and get_queryset functions. However now I can only create forms and if I am deleting the get function the I can list the created forms.
Thank You very much and here are my views.py and HTML.
views.py
from django.shortcuts import render,redirect

return render(request, self.template_name, {'form': form})
def post(self,request,*args, **kwargs):
form=self.form_class(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()

If I understand the question properly you can use CreateView instead of ListView and return the post lists in the context from get_context_data.
class PostList(generic.CreateView):
template_name = 'home.html'
form_class=PostForm
model = Post
def get_context_data(self, **kwargs)
context = super().get_context_data(**kwargs)
context ['postmodel_list'] = PostModel.objects.order_by('-created_on')
return context
