Hey All,
I am making use of django-registration and django-profile to handle registration and profiles. I would like to create a profile for the user at the time of registration. I have created a custom registration form, and added that to the urls.py using the tutorial on:
The basic idea in the tutorial is to override the default registration form to create the profile at the same time.
forms.py - In my profiles app
from django import forms
from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
from profiles.models import UserProfile
from registration.models import RegistrationProfile
attrs_dict = { 'class': 'required' }
class UserRegistrationForm(RegistrationForm):
city = forms.CharField(widget=forms.TextInput(attrs=attrs_dict))
def save(self, profile_callback=None):
new_user = RegistrationProfile.objects.create_inactive_user(username=self.cleaned_data['username'],
password=self.cleaned_data['password1'],
email=self.cleaned_data['email'])
new_profile = UserProfile(user=new_user, city=self.cleaned_data['city'])
new_profile.save()
return new_user
In urls.py
from profiles.forms import UserRegistrationForm
and
url(r'^register/$',
register,
{'backend': 'registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend', 'form_class' : UserRegistrationForm},
name='registration_register'),
The form is displayed, and i can enter in City, however it does not save or create the entry in the DB.
