    <p>I'm wondering whether it's possible to selectively suppress a Django signal (such as <code>post_save</code> or <code>post_init</code>) on object creation, or, alternatively, send it certain parameters.</p> <p>What I have is a <code>User</code> object, which can be created in many different ways and places in my code. So to automatically assign a custom <code>Profile</code> object to each <code>User</code>, I use the <code>post_save</code> signal. However, in one specific case, there is extra information that I want to bind to the created <code>Profile</code> object. Passing it as arguments to the <code>post_save</code> signal would be great, but it doesn't look possible. </p> <p>The other option is to manually create the <code>Profile</code> object, but then I need to that after the <code>User</code> is saved, otherwise the <code>Profile</code> cannot be bound to a <code>User</code> instance. Saving the <code>User</code> instance, however, results in another <code>Profile</code> being created via the function called by the signal.</p> <p>And I can't just get the just-created <code>Profile</code> object, since that results in a <code>'Profile' object is unsubscriptable</code> error. Any advice?</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>Here is an example of a possible situation:</p> <pre><code>def createUserProfile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: profile, created = Profile.objects.get_or_create(user=instance) if extra_param: profile.extra_param = extra_param profile.save() post_save.connect(createUserProfile, sender=User) def signup(request): ... extra_param = 'param' user.save() </code></pre> <p>How do I get the variable <code>extra_param</code> in the <code>signup</code> method to the createUserProfile method, where it is to be stored as part of the <code>Profile</code> object?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
