django-allauth - Overriding default signup form - django

Question

I'm using this code (in forms.py) for my custom signup form for allauth:
class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
birth_date = forms.DateField(widget=extras.SelectDateWidget(years=BIRTH_DATE_YEARS))
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'gender', 'birth_date', 'city', 'country')
I have of course specified ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS in settings.py to point to this form and it displays the fields which I've put in it. However, it does not work on submission, even if I put signup method it never gets invoked. I've tried with the save but still it's the same - it raises an error that one of my custom added fields is blank while creating user and saving it to the database.
So, what's the correct code for achieving this?

Answer 1

I've made it thanks to #rakwen who has found the correct solution here. I wrote my custom adapter and put it in adapters.py in my app:
from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter
class AccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):
def save_user(self, request, user, form, commit=False):
data = form.cleaned_data
user.username = data['username']
user.email = data['email']
user.first_name = data['first_name']
user.last_name = data['last_name']
user.gender = data['gender']
user.birth_date = data['birth_date']
user.city = data['city']
user.country = data['country']
if 'password1' in data:
user.set_password(data['password1'])
else:
user.set_unusable_password()
self.populate_username(request, user)
if commit:
user.save()
return user
Then I've specified ACCOUNT_ADAPTER in settings.py to point to that adapter, and it finally started to work!

In your project setting.py try to add this line:
verify if you have added this:
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
"django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend",
"allauth.account.auth_backends.AuthenticationBackend",
)
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = "yourapp.forms.customSignupForm"
In app.models
class CustomModel(models.Model):
"""CustomModel docstring."""
city = forms.CharField(max_length=75)
country = forms.CharField(max_length=25)
other....
In app.forms:
class SignForm(forms.ModelForm):
"""SignForm docstring."""
username = forms.CharField(
max_length=30,
)
first_name = forms.CharField(
max_length=30,
)
last_name = forms.CharField(
max_length=30,
)
field...
def myclean():
def signup(self, request, user):
"""You signup function."""
# dont forget to save your model
class Meta:
model = mymodel.CustomModel
fields = [
'city',
'country',
'field...',
]
Try this method work !
