Update Profile Form Issues about portfolio HOT 6 CLOSED

The form now posts successfully with changes reflected in the database and the success URL being implemented.

Due to the form spanning across both Django's User model and my custom Profile model, the controls relating to the Profile form do not seem to be instantiating with the model's value.

The form now pre-populates the current image being used in the custom Bootstrap file field. When the form is instantiated, it displays the image being used according to the model. Upon using the input picker, it displays the image selected from the hard drive.

The form now GETs and POSTs successfully instantiating the fields as expected. I had to resolve the issue using a function-based view because it was proving challenging validating multiple forms within the UpdateView.

At a later stage, I may choose to rewrite the view with a class-based view. I believe it may need a parent class writing too which will include a function that validates multiple forms.

Profile updates successfully. Issue resolved for now. At a later date, an aspirational item may be to change the view from function-based to class-based.

This Django package may be able to assist in converting the profile_update view from function-based to class-based.

Used Django Shapeshifter to use a CBV approach to the UserUpdateForm and ProfileUpdateForm.

Updated tests.
