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!!

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.

…I’m not sure about that…
