How to save custom fields to DB in Django registrationform? - django

Question

ive been struggling with this particular part for days now, and other posts on this problem dont seem to help me out.
So I have connected the User model with my own Gebruiker model that has fields like city, postalcode etc. Now I have managed to show them up on the registerform, but they dont seem to work. My second question is about the order of the inputfields, every time they appear in a random order. How can I set up a steady order?
This is my forms.py
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from .models import Gebruiker
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
woonplaats = forms.CharField(required=True)
postcode = forms.CharField(required=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = {'username','email', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'woonplaats', 'postcode'}
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']
user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
gebruiker = Gebruiker(user=user, woonplaats=self.cleaned_data['woonplaats'], postcode=self.cleaned_data['postcode'])
gebruiker.save()
if commit:
gebruiker.save()
user.save()
return user, gebruiker
(where woonplaats = place of residence)
Here is a part from views.py
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('/aanmelden')
else:
form = RegistrationForm()
args = {'form' : form}
return render(request, 'aanmelden/reg_form.html', args)
Models file:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.dispatch import receiver
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
# Create your models here.
class Gebruiker(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, null=True)
woonplaats = models.CharField(max_length=100)
postcode = models.CharField(max_length=100, default="")
email = models.CharField(max_length=100, default="")
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
if created:
Gebruiker.objects.create(user=instance)
#receiver(post_save, sender=User)
def save_user_profile(sender, instance, **kwargs):
instance.gebruiker.save()
Gebruiker part in User:

Answer 1

You have to create object Gebruiker. So, instead of this line:
gebruiker = Gebruiker(user = user, woonplaats = self.cleaned_data['woonplaats'], postcode = self.cleaned_data['postcode'])
gebruiker.save()
change to this:
gebruiker = Gebruiker.objects.create(user = user, woonplaats = self.cleaned_data['woonplaats'], postcode = self.cleaned_data['postcode'])
gebruiker.save()
if Gebruiker created already, you have to get this object:
gebruiker = Gebruiker.objects.get(your_parameter)
gebruiker = Gebruiker(user = user, woonplaats = self.cleaned_data['woonplaats'], postcode = self.cleaned_data['postcode'])
gebruiker.save()
And the second answer, about ordering of the fields. As I understand your template looks something like that:
{{form}}
but you can access to the different fields using this code:
<form action="" method="post">
...
{{ form.woonplaats }}
{{ form.postcode }}
...
<input type="submit" alt="register" value="Order" />
</form>
In this case you can change the order as you want
UPDATE:
gebruiker = Gebruiker.objects.get(user = user)
gebruiker.woonplaats = self.cleaned_data['woonplaats'],
gebruiker.postcode = self.cleaned_data['postcode'])
gebruiker.save()
