How can i Register and Login In The Same Page in Django? - django

Question

i would like to have both my login form and my registration form on the same page within the same template, so i would like to have them under one view function but i am not too sure on how i can do that, here is my code.
Views.py
def register(request):
form = CreateUserForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CreateUserForm(request.POST) == "Register"
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
user = form.cleaned_data.get('username')
messages.success(request,"Account was Created for " + user)
context = {'form':form}
return render(request,'login.html',context)
def login(request):
if request.method == "POST":
if request.POST.get('submit') == 'Login':
username = request.POST.get('username')
password = request.POST.get('password1')
user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
if user is not None:
login(request,user)
return redirect('shop.html')
else:
messages.info(request, 'Wrong Username or password')
context = {}
return render(request,'shop.html',context)
login.html
<div class="formBx">
<form method="POST",name="Login",value="Login">
{% csrf_token %}
<h2>Sign In</h2>
{{form.username}}
{{form.password1}}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login">
<p class="signup">Don't have an Account?Sign Up.</p>
{% for message in messages %}
<p id="messages">{{message}}</p>
{% endfor %}
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="user signUpBx">
<div class="formBx">
<form method="POST" value="Register">
{% csrf_token %}
<h2>Create an account</h2>
{{form.username}}
{{form.email}}
{{form.password1}}
{{form.password2}}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register">
<p class="signup">Already Have an Account?Sign In.</p>
{% for message in messages %}
<p id="messages">{{message}}</p>
{% endfor %}
</form>
</div>
I'm getting AttributeError at /login/
'bool' object has no attribute 'is_valid' error right now.

You can use two separate forms for login and register in same view. Here is an example:
def register_login(request):
if "register" in request.method == "POST": #add the name "register" in your html button
..... your registration code
if "login" in request.method == "POST": #add the name "login" in your html button
..... your login code
**html**
<form>
{%csrf_token%}
.... your registration form
<button type="submit" name="register">register</button>
</form>
<form>
{%csrf_token%}
.... your login form
<button type="submit" name="login">register</button>
</form>
