Unable to access UserProfile model fields in templates in Django

Question

I'm storing some additional per-user information using the AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE.

We can access the user in a Django template using {{ request.user }} but how do we access fields in the profile since the profile is only accessible via a function user.get_profile() ?

Answer 1

Use {{ request.user.get_profile.whatever }}. Django's templating language automatically calls things that are callable - in this case, the .get_profile() method.
