I have a problem using django-registration-redux.
I want to add others fields to the User as birthday, telephone, etc but it's difficult for me extends User class in models. What's the best form to add these fields to my user and show it in the form registration and login?
I would suggest to follow these steps:
define your user model, adding your desird fields, e.g. birth_date and photo:
# filename: myapp/models.py
from django.db import models
from django.utils.translation import ugettext as _
from datetime import datetime
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser, Group
class MyUser(AbstractUser):
birth_date = models.DateField(null=True)
photo = models.ImageField(upload_to=..., null=True, blank=True, verbose_name=_("photo"))
create a custom registration form:
# in file myapp/forms.py
from django import forms
from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
class MyRegistrationForm(RegistrationForm):
birth_date = ...
photo = ...
write a custom registration view:
# in file myapp/views.py
from registration.backends.simple.views import RegistrationView
from .forms import MyRegistrationForm
class MyRegistrationView(RegistrationView):
form_class = MyRegistrationForm
def register(self, request, form):
user = super(MyRegistrationView, self).register(request, form)
user.birth_date = form.cleaned_data["birth_date"]
user.photo = form.cleaned_data["photo"]
user.save()
return user
tell the system you are going to use your custom user model
# in file settings.py
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "myapp.MyUser"
add an url to invoke your custom registration view
# in file urls.py
from myapp.views import MyRegistrationView
...
urlpatterns = [
...
url(r'^accounts/register/$', MyRegistrationView.as_view(), name="registration_register"),
...
]
