custom user registration form in django - django

Question

I've created custom user registration form for django, but it's not working :-(
I've created LOGINSYS app to manipulate Users (Login, Profile page, Registration)
My forms.py looks like this:
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from datetime import date, timedelta
class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
def get_image_path(self, filename):
path = ''.join([date.today().strftime('../static/user_image/%Y/%m/%d/'), translit.slugify(filename), ".jpg"])
return path
first_name = forms.CharField (required = True)
last_name = forms.CharField (required = True)
telephone = forms.CharField (required = True)
email = forms.EmailField (required = False)
#user_image = forms.ImageField(path = get_image_path, required = False, allow_empty_file = True )
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'telephone', 'email')
def save (self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreationForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.first_name = self.cleaned_data['first_name']
user.last_name = self.cleaned_data['last_name']
user.telephone = self.cleaned_data['telephone']
user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']
user.set_password(self.cleaned_data["password1"])
#user.user_image = self.cleaned_data['user_image']
if commit:
user.save()
my views.py looks like:
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response, redirect
from django.http.response import HttpResponse
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
from django.template import RequestContext
from advert.models import Advert, AdvertCategory, AdvertSection
from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist
from django.core.context_processors import csrf
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.core.paginator import Paginator
from datetime import date, timedelta
from PIL import Image
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
from django.contrib import auth
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from loginsys.forms import MyRegistrationForm
def register(request):
args = {}
args.update(csrf(request))
args['form'] = MyRegistrationForm()
if request.POST:
newuser_form = MyRegistrationForm(request.POST)
if newuser_form.is_valid():
username = newuser_form.cleaned_data['username']
password = newuser_form.cleaned_data['password1']
#password2 = newuser_form.cleaned_data['password2']
first_name = newuser_form.cleaned_data['first_name']
last_name = newuser_form.cleaned_data['last_name']
telephone = newuser_form.cleaned_data['telephone']
email = newuser_form.cleaned_data['email']
newuser_form.save()
newuser = auth.authenticate(username=newuser_form.cleaned_data['username'], password=newuser_form.cleaned_data['password2'])
auth.login(request, newuser)
return redirect('/')
else:
args['reg_form'] = newuser_form
return redirect('/')
Unfortunately when i register on front-end it doesn't do anything :-(
Please help me

Answer 1

Your code does not render the form, see the usage of render in this example.
I recommend using django-auth-tools for building your own custom user model. It supplies basic models, views and forms which can be easily extended.

Answer 2

When you override the method save using 'super', you have to use the MyRegistrationForm, but not(!) superclass UserCreationForm.
Rewrite class method accordingly:
class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
...
def save (self, commit=True):
user = super(MyRegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)
...
