I think that my main problem was that I was expecting the save to the model
form to actually create the profile.
Here's what I ended up with in my view.
86 @login_required
87 def createProfile(request):
88 UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=request.user)[0]
89 if request.method == 'POST':
90 form = UserProfileForm(request.POST,
instance=request.user.get_profile())
91 if form.is_valid():
92 form.save()
93 return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
94 else:
95 return render_to_response('fav/createProfile.tpl', { 'form'
: form }, RequestContext(request) )
96 else:
97 form = UserProfileForm(instance=request.user.get_profile())
98 return render_to_response('fav/createProfile.tpl', { 'form' : form
}, RequestContext(request))
99
