Re: Foreign key dependent model's data not getting saved !

Hey,

Thanks Karen for the reply. I have been trying many things on this form and trying to save both the models data using one form in a single instance. I did try the commit=False method too but it gave an error which i couldnt figure out. Everytime i try doing something new an unknown error/exception pops up that too in some random file and location :(.

This is the traceback which i got now after changing code

The user model is getting saved with username and password but the userprofile isn;t :(

That is a somewhat misleading description of the problem since the code as you have posted it would not just fail to save the userprofile it would raise an exception on the attempt to pass user to RegForm, since RegForm as you have shown it is not expecting user as a keyword argument.

The right way to handle saving model forms which have explicitly excluded necessary data is described here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/forms/modelforms/#using-a-subset-of-fields-on-the-form

In this case you would want to save the originally-created RegForm instance uprofile with comit=False, then set the user attribute to the user returned by the other form save, then save the user profile instance:

up = uprofile.save(commit=False)
up.user = userid
up.save()
