How to Integrate Idios with django-filetransfers for a music-based website -- question on setting Idios profile fields by hand

Subject: How to Integrate Idios with django-filetransfers for a music-
based website

I'm building a music based website on top of Pinax.

I have already integrated an mp3 player with Idios. I pull the
relevant fields from the profile and integrate them into the jquery.

My application requires the user have ability to upload files. I
thought to use idios for editing and tracking the profile information.

I currently have one of the fields of idios as mp3uploadlink.

How can I set that link programatically from outside idios? (I want
it to be updated when I upload a file.)

I tried using get_profile(). It enables me to read the idios field,
but I didn't figure out how to save() it.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance,

Jonathan

assuming this is our user name need to check this (see idios/views.py)

field
myprofile.save() #trying to save it

Why not:

# Get the profile object
profile = request.user.get_profile()

# Set the value
profile.firstname = <some value>

# Save it
profile.save()
