I am trying to create custom fields for users to enter on signup with django-allauth. I have referred to several posts about this, but I am not able to get my custom form to save to my database. I do get a combined form on my signup.html page with username, password1 and 2, email and my extra fields of city and school, but I am not able to save the extra fields to the database. I have run syncdb and can see my User Profile table in the admin area.

This advice is the closest I have come to the answer but I do not understand how to implement it: "You can't use UserProfileForm to the allauth.SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS. You need to extend it from SignUpForm and write a save method which will accept the newly created user as the only parameter," from this post: Custom registration form for use with django-allauth

I have also attempted to integrate advice on this form these posts: Django Allauth not saving custom form How to customize user profile when using django-allauth

This is my code: Models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class UserProfile(models.Model):
# A required line - links a UserProfile to User.
user = models.OneToOneField(User)

# The additional attributes we wish to include.
school = models.CharField(max_length=128)
city = models.CharField(max_length=128)

def __unicode__(self):
    return self.user.username

Forms.py

 from django import forms
 from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 from myapp.models import UserProfile
 from django.forms.widgets import HiddenInput
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = UserProfile
        fields = ('city', 'school')

def signup(self, request, user):
 user=User.objects.get(email=request.email)
 city=request.POST.get('city','')
 school=request.POST.get('school','')
 userprofile_obj = UserProfile(user=user,city=city,school=school)
 userprofile_obj.save()

Settings.py

 ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS = 'myapp.forms.UserProfileForm'

My template is the basic Signup.html from the django-allauth templates and I do not have a view made for this, although I attempted to make one from the tangowithdjango user authentication section register view, and this gave similar behavior (not saving to the database).

Thanks, Kelly

Not sure if this is still an active question/issue for the original poster: if so, and for anyone else who comes across this, a few things to correct to at least move in the right direction:

  • I don't see an __init__() method that calls the superclass? E.g.:

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(SignupForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)

  • use the user parameter to the signup method. It should be populated; don't reload it.
  • Ensure the two objects are linking correctly (I didn't use Django to build my profile table so YMMV but I set user.profile = Profile(...); then execute user.profile.save() at the end of my signup() method.
  • get the values to place into the profile from the form cleaned_data (e.g. self.cleaned_data['city'] not the POST.

Then start debugging: is your signup() method firing? What does it get? What happens when you execute the profile.save() method?
