I edited managers.py and am using my own stream

    @stream
    def model_actions_with_id(self, model, id, **kwargs):
        """
        Stream of most recent actions by any particular model
        """
        ctype = ContentType.objects.get_for_model(model)
        return self.public(
            (Q(target_content_type=ctype, target_object_id = id) |
             Q(action_object_content_type=ctype, action_object_object_id = id) |
             Q(actor_content_type=ctype, action_object_object_id = id)),
            **kwargs
        )

I use that to select all activities a user was rated in, or all activies in which the user was rated. This is the user displayed on the page, NOT the user viewing the page! I can't find any reference to request.user, so I have no idea why it matters that the user is Anonymous! This works perfectly with logged in users.

I am also doing caching for non logged in users which might be doing something... but I have no idea how!!

ERRR!!!

This was my fault, sorry to bother... the error in my email had very few details, when I got to the office today it was obvious what my mistake was in the traceback. Sorry to bother.

AnonymousUser isn't a real user, obviously!

Hello @ckcollab I'm having the exact same issue, however is not clear to me what you did to fix it, can you elaborate on that? I'm not finding any answers to this 😕

I know it was a long time, but I have no clue, what I'm just doing is log in a user after registration.

Thanks!

[ckcollab]

Well, is it an AnonymousUser? Post some code and I can help maybe, but I think in my last message I was talking about how it was obvious I was dealing with an AnonymousUser and shouldn't be trying to get activity streams for them?

[zzantares]

Thanks for your offer to help, my problem was solved since I noticed I haven't use set_password to set the password of a recently registered user, thus when trying to login the user I was getting a AnonymousUser back.

For others reading realise what the error says "You're dealing with an AnonymousUser", once I thought on this it was clear my login wasn't working at all.

Hello @ckcollab I'm having the exact same issue, however is not clear to me what you did to fix it, can you elaborate on that? I'm not finding any answers to this. .It come error as ('AnonymousUser' object has no attribute '_meta')

[ckcollab]

@agrawalharish1997 actually, the way activity stream is built a user is required. You can't use an AnonymousUser. You can see the work one of our engineers (thanks Chris! @ReproKillbot) did towards adding this ability:
#442

The pull request, for good reason, was denied. You can use this fork though and make actions with no user attached!

[agrawalharish1997]

So what can i do , such that , the localuser can login and see the home page of my site

..I'm not sure about that..

[AmiteyeEmmanuel]

Hello please I am having the same issue please can someone explain how to actually set password for this error

[ckcollab]

@AmiteyeEmmanuel you can do something like this..

user = User.objects.get(email="someguy@gmail.com")
user.set_password("this is a password that gets hashed and saved to database")
user.save()
