Here's how I would modify the view:
views.py--------def SignUpFormView(request):user_form = 'SignUpForm'template_name = 'test.html'
Delete the above two lines. It appears you are mixing class-based and function-based views. In this case, you are using a function-based view.
if request.method == 'POST':form = user_form(request.POST)
Should be: form = SignUpForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():form.save()#username = form.cleaned_data.get('username') #password = form.cleaned_data.get('password') #email = form.cleaned_data.get('email')#user.save()
You can remove these commented lines, it appears as though you were trying to build the user object manually. Your firm can likely do this for you.
return render(request, template_name, {'form':form})
If the form is valid, then you should redirect to another page/view, not return to the same page. This is a common and almost required pattern with form submissions.
return HttpResponseRedirect('/signup_complete/')
The '/signup_complete/' should resolve to another page in your urls.py and usually displays a message saying that the user was successfully signed up. You can use any URL here that can be resolved by your urls.py.
else:SignUpForm()
This line just instantiates a new form object and then throws it away. It should be used in the event that request.method is not 'POST' and you generate a new, empty form for use in your template.
form = SignUpForm()
return render(request, 'user_info/about.html')
You aren't passing the form object that you are creating to your template context, which is why it isn't rendering in your template.
return render(request, 'user_info/about.html', {'form': form})
test.html---------
As far as your template goes, remove everything within the <form> definition and start with this:
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit" value="Submit">sign up </button>
</form>
Try these notifications and let me know how that works.
If you haven't already, I would try running through the Django tutorial, which covers how to handle forms and other components of Django.
