Encountering a lot of errors here. Here is the spill:
THE CASE:
So, I have created the base site with an operational store. However, now I am trying to add new users.
I completed about half of the "setting up user accounts" tutorial, however, now, whenever a new user logs in, he/she is unable to access any of the pages on the website.
THE CAUSE
In fact, an "Exception Type: RelatedObjectDoesNotExist" and "Exception Value: User has no customer" appears.. This is stopping the website from being operational for new users.
In the traceback, I am shown the following from "views.py" - "data = cartData(request)". Then, I am shown the following form "utils.py" - "customer = request.user.customer". This seems to be what is causing the errors.
Views.py
def about(request):
data= cartData(request)
items=data['items']
order=data['order']
cartItems=data['cartItems']
context = {'items':items, 'order':order, 'cartItems':cartItems}
return render(request, 'store/about.html', context)
CartData from Utils.py
def cartData(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
customer = request.user.customer
order, created = Order.objects.get_or_create(customer=customer, complete=False)
items = order.orderitem_set.all()
cartItems=order.get_cart_items
else:
cookieData = cookieCart(request)
cartItems = cookieData['cartItems']
order = cookieData['order']
items = cookieData['items']
return{'cartItems':cartItems, 'order':order, 'items':items}
THE CONFUSION
However, the store will not operate if I get rid of the cartData(request). How can I reconfigure the "views.py" or "utils.py" to make the cartData(request) operational for both admin and customers w/o this error appearing?
Thanks everyone, I hope that someone knows how to bypass this.
