How to allow user to delete their own profile after login with their default id.

[Manjusha]

Hi, I have created authentication system in Django. Anyone just tell me how to allow user to delete the created profile with default id of the user.. I I am using built-in  User authentication libraries for this purpose and haven't created database model for the user. But the function (the commented function under delete_account) that I have created it is not deleting the user.

Now I am trying to delete user profile using generic editing views  of Django.

Anyone tell me how to allow user to delete the created profile with default id of the user.

You're using a class-based view here but your code looks like it's supposed to be for a function based view. Which style do you want to use?

[Manjusha]

actually the code I have written it is for function based view but it not working that's why I am trying to do with generic editing views sorry for that 

[Manjusha]

Well it looks like you have a good start. What, in particular, isn't working? It would help if you can post the corrected code and any error messages/tracebacks.

Use the delete method on the instance instead of the class. So replace:
User.delete(u.id)

...with:
u.delete()

Thanks, both techniques are working now i.e 1)Replacing User.delete(u.id) with u.delete() and in 2) user is no getting authenticated with email, it is authenticated with only username and password with  authenticate function.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             But it is fine.

Hey, 

Here is what you can do:

When User clicks the Delete profile button you use Javascript Confirm then if they press OK you go to the view.

def delete_account(request):

    user = User.objects.get(id=request.user.id)

    # You first logout the user then delete the account

    logout(request)

    # You can use either of these

    # To Soft Delete

    user.active = False

    user.save()

    # To Hard Delete

    user.delete()

    messages.success("You account has been deleted Successfully!")

    return redirect('home')

Let me know if this doesn't work.

User object doesn't have attribute id so it will not work, I have checked now and you can refer this documentation, so you will get clear idea.

[Manjusha]

need to create database for user and need to add id column in database.
