Add "Following" tab to the user profile view

[brylie]

We recently removed some features from the user Profile view and now want to reimplement them using only Django.

This task will be to add a "Following" tab to the user profile view. The tab should link to a sub-path of the user profile, so it is clear to the viewer that they are viewing users that a particular user is following.

Task

All of these tasks should be done in the accounts app.

• [ ] create a Django view called UserFollowing (in accounts/views.py)
• [ ] create a URL definition profile/<str:username>/following that renders the UserFollowing view ( in accounts/urls.py)
• [ ] ensure the UserFollowing view context contains a list of users that the relevant user is following (given via the username in the URL)
  • note, it should be possible to get profiles that the user follower via user.profile.following or just profile.following
• [ ] create a template to render the followed usernames - for now, extending base.html so we have consistent branding (in accounts/templates/accounts/user_civis.html)

I would like to work on this.

Regarding the newly created following tab, I noticed that there were no added unit testcases provided in the accounts/views_tests.py

We've created some testcases that are consistent with other provided testcases. I'd like to provide these as a new PR.

Please let me know if this is possible and/or if we need to create a new issue for this implementation.

Hello @brylie. Is this issue still open? I will love to work on this issue. Thanks.

Hello, @brylie. I think this issue has been solved already. There is a ProfileFollowing class that renders the users that a specific user is following.
