I don't quite understand what you mean... When you say load the url: /userprofile/1234/ at got your urls.py to get <id> from the URL. Then you could load that userprofile from the db with e.g. def a_nice_view(request, id): from django.auth.models import User userprofile = User.objects.get(pk=id) ## Then do updating on that profile here ## userprofile.username = "Somethingnew" It's the same way with a form/request, and you can get the userprofile with: request.user All this is pretty basic stuff, and as I've seen you ask a lot of these questions on django-users I would really advise you to read a introductory book or do some more tutorials before trying to make something advanced yourselves. -- With regards, Herman Schistad -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
