'NoneType' object has no attribute 'user'

[MitchK]

Hi,

I have integrated django-conversejs as it was described in the tutorial.

I get this error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'user' (utils.py in get_conversejs_context, line 21)

Any ideas? Thank you.

had the same problem
was solved by adding the current request under the key 'request' to the context before calling template.render(context)

this should be noted in the howto

The request should be added to the context by using the django.core.context_processors.request context processor.

@DrAzraelTod or @MitchK could you please add to the README and do a Pull-Request?

Thanks!

i wouldn't edit the readme until i got it to work
after solving this i ran into the next problem and gave up for that weekend
maybe later, but it would be better if you did it yourself, since you seem to know why you want to do it that way.

Has anyone solve that issue? I am trying to get django-conversejs working with my chat app. I have the exact problem described in this post:
I can't implement @seocam answer as I don't know in which file should I import the context processor.
Can anyone help?

@ptchankue Does this help?

[seocam]

I believe the code could be improved by getting user from context instead of request. The user is added to the context by django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth which is a default context processor. If it works the code would be simplified and we wouldn't need to add a new step in the install manual.
