How do I save PhoneNumberField data to database? - django

Question

My forms.py file
class CreateUserForm(UserCreationForm):
phone=PhoneNumberField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', 'phone']
widgets={
'username':forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"Username"}),
'email':forms.TextInput(attrs={'placeholder':"Email Address"}),
'password1': forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Your Password'}),
'password2': forms.PasswordInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Confirm Password'}),
'phone':PhoneNumberField(),
}
My models.py file
class CustomerReg(models.Model):
user=models.OneToOneField(User, null=True, blank=True, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
name=models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
email=models.EmailField(max_length=254)
def create_profile(sender, **kwargs):
if kwargs['created']:
user_profile=CustomerReg.objects.create(user=kwargs['instance'])
post_save.connect(create_profile, sender=User)
My views.py file
def registerPage(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
return redirect('form')
else:
form=CreateUserForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CreateUserForm(request.POST)
if(form.is_valid()):
form.save()
user=form.cleaned_data.get['username']
user=User.objects.get(username=user)
phone=form.cleaned_data.get['phone']
user.phone_number=phone
user.save()
return redirect('login')
context = {'form': form}
return render(request, 'customer/register.html', context)
Upon clicking the register page an error is displayed
AttributeError at /register/
'str' object has no attribute 'User'
So is there no way I can save the data from my form and hence I would have to make new Custom User Model to save phone number of a user on register page?
My admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import *
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin
from .forms import UserChangeForm,UserCreationForm
# Register your models here.
admin.site.register(Customer)
class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):
form = UserChangeForm
add_form = UserCreationForm
list_display = ('email', 'phone')
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)

Answer 1

If your model is created correctly, the mistake you are making is your variable user is not a User object. The error informs you that user variable represents a string (from the form's input), which does not have User as its attribute. In this case, you might have to do something like
user = User.objects.get(username=user)
in order to assign the User object to variable user.
Now that user is a User object, then, you can do
user.phone_number = phone
user.save()

Answer 2

Please try this:
def registerPage(request):
if request.user.is_authenticated:
return redirect('form')
else:
form=CreateUserForm()
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CreateUserForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
username=form.cleaned_data['username']
user=User.objects.get(username=username)
phone=form.cleaned_data['phone']
user.phone=phone
user.save()
return redirect('login')
context = {'form': form}
return render(request, 'customer/register.html', context)
Are you display phone field for admin then,
admin.py
from .forms import UserChangeForm,UserCreationForm
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin as BaseUserAdmin
class UserAdmin(BaseUserAdmin):
form = UserChangeForm
add_form = UserCreationForm
list_display = ('email', 'phone') # You can add field to display field here..
list_filter = ('name')
fieldsets = (
(None, {'fields': ('email')}),
('Personal info', {'fields': ('name','phone')}),
('Permissions', {'fields': ('name',)}),
)
add_fieldsets = (
(None, {
'classes': ('wide',),
'fields': ('name' ,'user','email','email', 'phone')
}),
)
search_fields = ('email',)
ordering = ('email',)
filter_horizontal = ()
admin.site.register(User, UserAdmin)
