Re: Create a new object for the newly registered user

You can use a post_save signal for the User Model

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/signals/#post-save

from django.db.models.signals import post_save

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

def create_about(sender, **kwargs):

    user = kwargs['instance']

    if kwargs['created']:

        about = About()

        about.user = user

        about.save()

post_save.connect(create_about, sender=User)

I am very new to django, so please bear with me. What I want is whenever a new user is registered I would like to create an `About` for that user. How will I do that? Please help me. Thank you.

views:

    def register(request):
        if request.method == 'POST':
            form = UserCreationForm(request.POST or None)
            if form.is_valid():
                form.save()
                return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
            else:
                return render(request, 'register.html', {'form':form})
        else:
            form = UserCreationForm()
            return render(request, 'register.html', {'form':form})

model:

    class About(models.Model):
        user = models.OneToOneField(User)
        gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER)
        dob = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
        place = models.CharField(max_lenght=100)
