Django: Access Admin User in Python Shell
django, profile, python
Solution
You can do something like this:
$ ./manage.py shell
> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
> from <profile_package>.models import Profile
> user = User.objects.get(username='<admin_user_name>')
> profile = Profile(user=user)
> profile.save()
Problem
I am using Django Userena, but when trying to login to the django admin screen userena is creating a fuss: `Profile matching query does not exist`. How can I create a profile for the admin user using the shell? Here is my Profile model, but I don't know how to access the key for the admin user to create a Profile object for it: ``` class Profile(UserenaBaseProfile, FacebookProfileModel): user = models.OneToOneField(User, unique=True, verbose_name=('user'), related_name='my_profile') website = models.URLField(null=True, blank=True) ``` I know this is probably pretty simple, but google has failed me so far... Thanks for your ideas! PS. I used to be able to login to my admin screen without issue, but something has changed now and I am getting the `Profile matching query does not exist` error (I didn't change the code, either).. Any ideas why I can't login now are also appreciated. Thanks!
