Re: New to Django: Please Help!! Django User Model not saving first_name, last_name and email - Authentication App

Thanks  for the help.  Though if I  remove  the declarations of the first_name, last_name and email. Then  I will  not be able to see these  in the Register form.. The fields password1 and password2 are just working  well and can be saved...  The issue  is on the  first_name, last_name and email fields...  I can't save them using  the django form..

Remove declaration of first_name, last_name & email in Form calss.

class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):

        fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', )

 And while Saving the form, follow below steps.

if form.is_valid():
   new_user = form.save(commit=False)
   new_user.set_password(form.cleaned_data['password1'])
      new_user.save()
      # Your next steps

I think you might need to declare password1 & password2 fields in your Form. Do Check.

Hello, 

I am new to Django and enjoying the learning process, unfortunately I am stuck, and I need expert guidance. 

I am learning through developing a User Authentication System. The system is supposed to have a user registration functionality, login, user profile editing and logout. I have managed to create the login, logout functionalities and the registration functionality partly. The problem is on the registration, I am only able to save the 'username and password ' using django forms, I have written the code for saving the first_name and the last _name as well as email but it seems not to be working, only the 'username and password' are saved.. I think I am missing something though no error comes up. Please anyone to guide me. Thank you.

the code is as shown below:

views.py

from django.shortcuts import render, redirect

from django.contrib.auth import authenticate, login, logout

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from django.contrib import auth, messages

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm

from django import forms

from .forms import SignUpForm

def home(request):

return render(request, 'authenticate/home.html', {})

def login_user(request):

if request.method == 'POST':

username = request.POST['username']

password = request.POST['password']

user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)

if user is not None:

login(request, user)

messages.success(request,('You have been logged in'))

return redirect('home')

else:

messages.success(request,('Error Logging in!'))

return redirect('login')

else:

return render(request, 'authenticate/login.html', {})

def logout_user(request):

"""if request.method =='POST':"""

logout(request)

messages.success(request,('You have been logged out'))

return redirect('home')

def register_user(request):

if request.method =='POST':

form = SignUpForm(request.POST)

if form.is_valid():

form.save()

username = form.cleaned_data['username']

password = form.cleaned_data['password1']

user = authenticate(username=username, password=password)

login(request, user)

messages.success(request,(' Successfully Registered!'))

return redirect('home')

else:

form = SignUpForm()

context = {'form': form }

return render(request, 'authenticate/register.html', context)

urls.py

from django.urls import path

from . import views

urlpatterns = [

path('', views.home, name="home"),

path('login/', views.login_user, name="login"),

path('logout/', views.logout_user, name='logout'),

path('register/', views.register_user, name='register'),

]

forms.py

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from django import forms

class SignUpForm(UserCreationForm):

email = forms.EmailField()

first_name = forms.CharField(max_length=100,)

last_name = forms.CharField(max_length=100,)

class meta():

model = User

fields = ('username', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', )

register.html

{% extends 'authenticate/base.html'%}

{% block content%}

<h2>This is the Registration Page</h2>

<form method="POST" action="{% url 'register' %}">

{% csrf_token %}

{% if form.errors %}

<p>Your form has errors</p>

{{ error }}

{% endif %}

<div class="container">

{{ form.as_p }}

<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Register">

<br />

</div>

</form>

{% endblock %}

Chao!
