How to do custom signup with django-allauth? - django

Question

I'm trying to ask a user some additional info while signing up. I'm using django allauth for authorization and authentication. I try to add three more fields during the signup process. If If I run it, it shows me the standard form plus gender field. However, it doesn't seem to really work. How can I save the data? Could someone help? Thank you in advance!
EDITED: if I just use
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return redirect('/success/')
I get an error:
save() missing 1 required positional argument: 'user'
I'm quite new to django.
I created signups app in the project.
I put this in allauth_settings.py:
ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = 'signups.forms.MySignupForm'
My signups/model.py:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from allauth.account.models import EmailAddress
from allauth.socialaccount.models import SocialAccount
import hashlib
class UserProfile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name='profile')
about_me = models.TextField(null=True, blank=True)
timestamp = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add= True, auto_now=False)
updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add= False, auto_now=True)
GENDER_CHOICES = (
('m', 'Male'),
('f', 'Female'),
)
# gender can take only one of the GENDER_CHOICES options
gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES,
verbose_name='Gender')
def __unicode__(self):
return self.user.username
class Meta:
db_table = 'user_profile'
def profile_image_url(self):
"""
Return the URL for the user's Facebook icon if the user is logged in via
Facebook, otherwise return the user's Gravatar URL
"""
fb_uid = SocialAccount.objects.filter(user_id=self.user.id, provider='facebook')
if len(fb_uid):
return "http://graph.facebook.com/{}/picture?width=40&height=40".format(fb_uid[0].uid)
return "http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/{}?s=40".format(hashlib.md5(self.user.email).hexdigest())
def account_verified(self):
"""
If the user is logged in and has verified hisser email address, return True,
otherwise return False
"""
if self.user.is_authenticated:
result = EmailAddress.objects.filter(email=self.user.email)
if len(result):
return result[0].verified
return False
User.profile = property(lambda u: UserProfile.objects.get_or_create(user=u)[0])
my signups/forms.py:
from allauth.account.forms import SignupForm
from django import forms
from .models import UserProfile
class MySignupForm(SignupForm):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
gender = forms.CharField(max_length=1, label='gender')
def save(self, user):
user.gender = self.cleaned_data['gender']
user.save()
my signups/views.py:
from django.template import RequestContext
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from .forms import SignupForm
def index(request):
form = MySignupForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid:
???
return render_to_response("signups/index.html", locals(),
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
My index.html is very basic, I just wanted to see the representation of the form:
{% extends 'account/base.html' %}
{% block head_title %}ProjectName{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<form method="POST" action="">
{{ form.as_p }}
<input type="submit">
</form>
{% endblock %}

You are instantiating the SignupForm, which is the standard form but not your MySignupForm in the view. Change it like this:
def index(request):
form = MySignupForm()
return render_to_response("signups/index.html", locals(),
context_instance=RequestContext(request))
