Can anybody answe how i can access infromation from the parent modell i my HTML template in Django?

[The Sha]

I have a two formsets rendered in a view called ContactIndex, the parent model for this view is the CustomUser model. I want to present the first_name of the user object in my html template. I've tried these tags without success any advise?

This is the tags in my HTML template:

{{ customuser.first_name }} - does not work

{{ object.first_name }} - does not work

This is my view:

def ContactIndex(request, CustomUser_id):
        customuser = CustomUser.objects.get(pk=CustomUser_id)
        if request.method == "POST":
            ContactFormset = ContactInlineFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=customuser)
            AddressFormset = AddressInlineFormSet(request.POST, request.FILES, instance=customuser)
            if ContactFormset.is_valid() or AddressFormset.is_valid():
                AddressFormset.save()
                ContactFormset.save()
                # Do something. Should generally end with a redirect. For example:
                return redirect ('ContactIndex', CustomUser_id=customuser.id)
        else:
            ContactFormset = ContactInlineFormSet(instance=customuser)
            AddressFormset = AddressInlineFormSet(instance=customuser)
        return render(request, 'members/member_contact_form.html', {'ContactFormset':ContactFormset, 'Address

Formset':AddressFormset })

Hi,

You need to pass the variables that you want to use in the template to the template itself. You do this here:

return render(request, 'members/member_contact_form.html', {'ContactFormset':ContactFormset, 'AddressFormset':AddressFormset })

The dictionary you add to the render method there contains all the objects that you can get in the template itself. So if you want to add something called object you need to add that to the dictionary.

Med vänliga hälsningar,

Andréas

All you need to do is update the render call a dictionary with the customuser variable in it:

return render(request, 'members/member_contact_form.html', {'ContactFormset':ContactFormset, 'Address Formset':AddressFormset, 'customuser': customuser })
