Django Forn Not Saving Extra Information - django

Question

I extended the Django AbstratUser so that users can use email to sign in and signup, these work perfectly. The problem I am facing, however, is that the extra information on the extended model is not storing the information in the database, even though the user gets created. Once I hit the submit button, the user and extended model get created, and while the user model stores the information, the extended model is always empty.
I have tried using both signals and #transaction_atomic, yet, I have not been able to figure it out. Maybe I am missing out something, I do not know.
Models.py
class Company(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, primary_key=True)
name= models.CharField(_('Company name'), max_length=250)
...
#more information
...
class Meta:
verbose_name = _('Company')
verbose_name_plural = _('Companies')
def __str__(self):
return self.name
forms.py
class CompanySignUpForm(CustomUserCreationForm):
name = forms.CharField(widget=TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Company name'}))
...
#more fields
...
class Meta(CustomUserCreationForm.Meta):
model = User
#transaction.atomic
def save(self):
user = super().save(commit=False)
user.is_company = True
user.save()
company = Company.objects.create(user=user)
company.name = self.cleaned_data.get('name')
...
#more information
...
return user
Views.py
def company_signup(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CompanySignUpForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return render(request, 'accounts/templates/company_success.html')
else:
form = CompanySignUpForm()
return render(request, 'accounts/templates/company_signup.html', context={
'title': _('Create a Company Account'),
'form': form,
})
Edit:
Thanks to #Mandrup, I was able to extend his solution to fit my need.
forms.py
class CompanySignUpForm(CustomUserCreationForm):
name = forms.CharField(widget=TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Company name'}))
number_of_employees = forms.CharField(widget=NumberInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Number of employees'}))
phone = forms.CharField(widget=TextInput(attrs={'placeholder': 'Contact Number'}))
country = forms.ModelChoiceField(queryset=Country.objects.all(), required=True, empty_label="Country")
class Meta(CustomUserCreationForm.Meta):
model = User
#transaction.atomic
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(CompanySignUpForm, self).save(commit=False)
if commit:
user.is_company = True
user.save()
name = self.cleaned_data.get('name')
number_of_employees = self.cleaned_data.get('number_of_employees')
phone = self.cleaned_data.get('phone')
country = self.cleaned_data.get('country')
company = Company(user=user, name=name, number_of_employees=number_of_employees, phone=phone, country=country)
company.save()
return user

Edit:
This worked for me when i tried to create an extended user profile. I changed it to fit your needs.
Model:
class Company(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, on_delete=models.CASCADE, primary_key=True)
name= models.CharField(max_length=250)
...
#more information
...
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Form:
class RegisterUserForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ["username", "email", "password1", "password2"]#add whatever fields you want to here
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(RegisterUserForm, self).save(commit=False)
if commit:
user.save()
company = Company(user=user, name='Company name')
company.save()
return user
