django-allauth - Overriding default signup form

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?

maybe you have missing allauth option in your project setting! please look my answer and try to adapt — Mbambadev, Apr 07 '16 at 23:40
I don't, as I stated above I've set `ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS` and the form is displayed with all fields correctly. The problem is submission of it. — softzer0, Apr 07 '16 at 23:42

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 !

question: You have a custom models called User ? – Mbambadev Apr 07 '16 at 23:50
Yes, I have custom User model with my custom extra fields. – softzer0 Apr 07 '16 at 23:52
if not create a profile or other like it, this model must have a oneToOne relation with django user and add your current other fields. create a modelForm not a simple form. Look i adapt my answer with your context. – Mbambadev Apr 07 '16 at 23:53
Tried everything, and still `signup` method never gets invoked. It seems more like an issue with allauth itself rather than my code. – softzer0 Apr 07 '16 at 23:57
look my answer and do like it ! – Mbambadev Apr 08 '16 at 00:11
refresh this page and look my answer again ! – Mbambadev Apr 08 '16 at 00:15
I've looked at it and I've already done and configured the same - the same code for forms.py is in my main question. Only `myclean()` isn't present there, so what's that method meant for, I don't understand? – softzer0 Apr 08 '16 at 00:17
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/108577/discussion-between-rakwen-and-mikisoft). – Mbambadev Apr 08 '16 at 00:17
