**i am not an expert in custom user models in Django, so i started to use only AbstractUser class to be able to extend Auth functions, but i got this url pattern after login that shouldn’t be existed at all**  
**`http://localhost:8000/accounts/profile/` \*\*  
 while my url in account app is  
 `path(<int:id>, details, name = profile)` so when i logged in i got 404 doesn’t exist accounts/profile  
\*\* while it should be `accounts/1` according to my view function `return redirect('accounts:profile')`**  
**Also i have a custom user model and when i create new user i got**  
**AnonymousUser’ object has no attribute ‘\_meta’**  
**i have both signup and login functions as follows**

```auto

What do your urls.py files look like?

Do you have your view that handles the profile edit in an app named “accounts”? (If not, then your reference to that url is incorrect. If you do, then I suggest you change it because of the potential for conflicts with the built-in “accounts” app causing confusion like this one.)

You actually hint at the right answer in your message.

In your use of the `url` tag within your template, you show that you’re reversing the `accounts:profile` url with the `user.id` parameter.

But you’re not supplying that parameter in your `redirect` function call in your view.

Review the docs at [redirect](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/http/shortcuts/#redirect).

what do you mean brother can you give me clearer example cause i already tried these

```auto
redirect(reverse('/accounts/id'))
redirect('/accounts/id')

```

**but didn’t work and the redirect should accept the urls pattern names as i think if this is not true pleeeeease just give me a sample correct line of code that can redirect well**

What do the docs say about that version of the `redirect` function?

(There are 4 different uses of that function shown in the docs. One of them matches what you’re trying to do. This one isn’t it.)

</div>

Another question - what is this “django\_registration” module you have referenced in your urls? Is there possibly some conflict of url names with it?  
(Note: a conflict of url names here would be in addition to the improper use of the `redirect` function, not instead of.)

First, this has nothing to do with your database itself. There is no reason to even be thinking along the lines of dropping and recreating it.

Now, lets look at this situation more directly - we’ll start with what the docs say.

For the function definition it has:

> `redirect` (_to_ , \*_args_ , _permanent=False_ , \*\*_kwargs_ )

Followed by:

> The arguments could be:
> 
> - A model: the model’s [`get_absolute_url()`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/models/instances/#django.db.models.Model.get_absolute_url) function will be called.
> - A view name, possibly with arguments: [`reverse()`](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/urlresolvers/#django.urls.reverse) will be used to reverse-resolve the name.
> - An absolute or relative URL, which will be used as-is for the redirect location.

You’re trying to use the second version - passing a view name. Note that this second bullet point is telling you that _it_ will use `reverse` to reverse-resolve the name - there’s no reason for you to do that.

What’s your view name? ‘accounts:profile’

Now, if you look at your url definition, you have:

> [@Abunagy](#):
>
> `path('<int:id>', details, name='profile'),`

This means you need to supply a parameter named `id`. This parameter is supposed to be an integer. It appears that you want to use the `id` of the person logging in - but the issue is that since this person has _just_ logged in, their `user` object isn’t in the session yet.

You do authenticate a user, and place that reference into an object named `user`, so `user.id` is going to contain the id you want to pass as a parameter.

Putting _these_ two pieces of information together, what do you think your call to `redirect` should look like?

</div>

it seems that there are a permanent pattern that never be changed always shown up and exist as accounts/profile 404, so i need to read more in docs because i feel like i can’t reach to the correct form as the details view profile need that id with the request, so there is something missed in the ref. url pattern i don’t know anyway i will read more and back to you my brother

here is what i have tried but didn’t work

```auto
return redirect('accounts:profile', request.user.id)
return redirect(reverse('accounts:profile'), request.user.id)
return redirect('/accounts/id', request.user.id)
return redirect(reverse('/accounts/id'), request.user.id)

```

cause i think the second version that i am trying to use, as you were telling already included i the first version get\_absolute\_url that will be called in profile models.py file,

```auto
return reverse('accounts:profile', kwargs={'id': user.id})
return reverse('/accounts/id', permanent=False, kwargs={'pk': user.id})

```

so i forgot about these kind of subject and didn’t use them for long time and i was busy in other project so i will read first to not circling and trying without understanding and will back to you if i failed again  
thanks for replying me

</div>

Items:

1. You want to use `redirect`, not `reverse`. The `redirect` function _uses_ the `reverse` function to build the redirect object.
2. You want to use `'accounts:profile'`, nothing else
3. You do _not_ want to use `request.user` because the user hasn’t been established in the session yet (they’re just logging on). The object you need to reference is `user` - specifically, the `id` attribute, being `user.id`.
4. As shown in the example, the parameter name you can use is `id`, so the parameter could just be `id=user.id`.

secondly unfortunately you didn’t get my point bro  
i was trying to say that the problem in django itself because it ignoring all my redirect patterns in views.py file not only the sign up or login function but all the functions in my views  
I will tell you why this happens  
django and i don’t know why doing that, search by default on this pattern only

```auto
accounts/profile

```

thirdly  
you didn’t notice that my login view was having to redirects  
the first one is when the user is already authenticated, so i need to take the user id from the request.user.id  
the second one is when the user is not authenticated and here i have to use only user.id  
so i used to try the first one as i was already authenticated and also the second one when i logged out

So whenever i try any pattern in my views he never look for it as you may didn’t noticed  
i have tried all kinds of patterns and they should work all  
i knew that i was wrong in using reverse in redirect but the problem bro was never relate to the  
redirect or urls patterns at all cause i already tried these patterns but never work

```auto
user = get_user_model().objects.get(id=request.user.id) # or username=request.user.username
profile = Profile.objects.get(user=user)
return redirect(profile)
return redirect('http://localhost:8000/accounts/id/')
return redirect('accounts:profile', id=user.id)
return redirect('/accounts/id', id=user.id)
return redirect('accounts:profile')
id = User.objects.get(username=request.user.username).id
return redirect('accounts:profile', id=id) # return redirect('/')
return redirect('accounts:profile', request.user.id)
return redirect('/accounts/id', request.user.id)
return reverse('accounts:profile', args={'id': user.id})
return reverse('/accounts/id', permanent=False, args={'id': request.user.id})
return redirect('accounts:profile', args=[user.id])
return redirect('accounts:profile', kwargs=[user.id])

```

They never work at all as i told you cause django ignoring all kinds of patterns that i have tried although they are correct all and should work fine and that  
because django ignore my redirect pattern at all

anyway  
when i added this line in settings

```auto
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL= accounts/id

```

django look for the same pattern

`accounts/id`

and ignore also all my patterns in views

i have tried also to change my details view function to take the username instead of the id  
and i got another strange error that

he fount the pattern but telling me that  
`no User match found`

even when he got the user.username that already exist in session and in the request

So the problem was that details or profile function should never take any id or user name and just  
got the profile using this next line when i be already authenticated

`profile = User.objects.get(user=request.user)`

and when i be not authenticated

`profile = User.objects.get(user=user)`

and then the simplest pattern

`'accounts:profile'`

did works already and no need for any other pattern

so what do you think about that

django only recognise this pattern

`accounts/profile`

after adding this patter in my urls i could get my profile page

so i read the docs already but there was no solution in it because i have tried all kind of versions of redirect and changed everything to notice this bug as i think in django itself

i don’t know why it doing so and ignore all views pattern except when it be like that

`path(profile/, detils, name=profile)`

so i think this bug should be taken care of someone among who creates or develop the framework, but if you have the reason please tell me why  
the other problem we never take about it also but it’s already bee solved by changing the signup view  
Anyway thanks for everything bro and for trying to help

First, there’s no bug in the framework - at least for these functions. There are too many people using them successfully without problems for your situation to be uncovering something that no one else has seen.

Second, let’s make sure one thing is clear - that at any given time you only have _one_ return statement in a logic branch in a function.

If you have something like:

```auto
return a
return b

```

within a section of your code, the second return will never be executed.

If you have all of these returns in your code **at the same time** , then no, it’s never going to work.

You need to have **one** return statement in your code at that point.

When you are trying these different patterns, you need to _only_ have the version that you are trying in the code. Your current attempt needs to _replace_ the existing return statement and not be added to some sequence of them.

</div>

i don’t know if you mean the second commented return statement in the above code

#return

this is known bro as the basic fundamental concept the first return is executed first and the other will be ignored as the function already done and returned so this is away from our main subject and never related to what i was trying to say.

also why my code is working with these two return statement then if any is exist as you have said !!!

anyway as i have told you what is seen here is and was confirmed that the framework really never see any redirect function outside of accounts profile by default and this is for more than one user not only me,and i read a lot abot so many issues like that but sure if you want me to provide the link to them i can give you some links .

you can check this one if you want

[not redirect](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4870619/django-after-login-redirect-user-to-his-custom-page-mysite-com-username)

i think that this is the normal case that should work fine not a special case that i am the only one having so forgive me if my words was some kind bothering as you were defending for the framework as a support for it,

but for your known i like django and use it a lot so i am not judging you here

anyway thanks again and forgive me

Quite frankly, among all the various side topics raised, I’m not sure _what_ the issue is that you’re trying to comment on.

So, some general notes:

#1  
If you have this url in a url pattern in an app named ‘accounts’:

> [@Abunagy](#):
>
> ` path('<int:id>', details, name='profile'),`

then _this_ will create the redirect for the right url _if_ `user` is a reference to the right `User` object:

> [@Abunagy](#):
>
> `return redirect('accounts:profile', id=user.id)`

#2  
If you’re having an issue with retrieving the right User object, that’s a different issue, and one we should address separately from this one to avoid confusion. Yes, I know you referenced this early on, but I was ignoring it in favor of trying to address the more obvious issue being the incorrect `redirect` call.

#3  
I don’t see where that article you’ve referenced is on point. You’re not using the standard system-provided login view - you’re handling things yourself.

#4  
No apologies are necessary here. It’s actually all part of the learning process.

If you’re still interested in getting this figured out, lets take a step back and start with the first issue needing to be addressed. It would also probably be helpful if you posted the _current_ view displaying the issue. It’s tough to follow all the different fragments that have been posted in this thread to know what the current status of the view is.

yes bro you are totally right  
as you have mentioned too we were trying to use this patterns that should be work fine and amongest them this one that already been used with request.user.id and user.id

```auto
return redirect('accounts:profile', id=user.id)

```

but  
#1  
what i have done already with the simplest details function  
it was having problem when it was

```auto
@login_required
def details(request, id):
    user = get_object_or_404(get_user_model(), id=id)
    profile = get_object_or_404(Profile, user=user)
    return render(request, 'account/profile.html', {'profile': profile, 'user': user})

```

and to not telling me why didn’t use

`user = User.objects.get(...)`

i think i have tried this one as i think cause i have tried a lot for this project to work

it’s now simpler as for testing the solution taking the user only from the request and that works well

```auto
@login_required
def details(request):
    profile = Profile(user=request.user)
    return render(request, 'account/profile.html', {'profile': profile})

```

but django want these patterns only to work fine =\> for example

```auto
    path('profile/', details, name='profile'), 
    path('profile/add/', edit_profile, name='edit_profile'),
    path('profile/add/.../', edit_profile, name='edit_profile'),
    path('profile/edit/', edit_profile, name='edit_profile'),
    path('profile/<int:id>/', edit_profile, name='edit_profile'),
    path('profile/edit/...', edit_profile, name='edit_profile'),
    etc

```

so it’s not convinced with this details problematic function taking id argument with any other has at the begining

` path('<bla bla bla>/...', details, name='profile'),`

i have changed these bla bla bla so many times with id or username or any other than profile but no way

#2  
the referenced url stack-overflow subject related in the first two lines of the question that has been asked by the user he mentioned that django by default redirect to account/profile and if he added another redirect in settings it will be the same and i got a lot of other problems mentions that django ignoring all views redirect method

#3  
finally really deeply thanks from my deep heart for caring and support because without your interactions and replying i wouldn’t really continued because i was circling for long time on this and really want to know why django ignoring all my redirect views pattern  
and i would be glad if you have any idea or questions, would be more than happy to answer or reply

thanks again

I’m sorry, I’m not following what you’re trying to say here - what specifically is your question? What is it that you’re wanting to do but isn’t working?

#2

But it’s not the same case as yours. They’re using the system login function, you’re using your own. The two situations are not the same. The information provided there does not apply to you.

yes bro because they are on the same standard of using the same default pattern  
accounts/profile  
if they were off this they will have the same problem as i had and like so many others, that’s what i mean  
and  
i am not trying to ask more i just clarifying what was causing the problem as you were asking me for more info back step for the root cause

You’re placing far too much emphasis on this. This is not nearly as important or as significant as you seem to think it is.
