Something like that. The essence of "form_save" is to save data from a form to the fields of the User model in the database. The thing to note is that a Form's save method returns the object that was saved. Also, a Form's save method and model save method do the same thing
OK, thanks for the response. So the essence of the form_save() is to get the user object in which the password property can be set properly.
Thanks alotOn Mar 1, 2015 6:38 PM, "Vijay Khemlani" <vkhemlan@gmail.com> wrote:--Both save the user to the database, but "user_form.save()" leaves the user password in plain text (which won't work when the user tries to login later) so the password must be set correctly (user.set_password(user.password)) and then the user has to be saved again for the correct (hashed) password to be stored.--On Sun, Mar 1, 2015 at 12:57 PM, ADEWALE ADISA <solixzsystem@gmail.com> wrote:Hi guys, pls help with little explanation on the extract below from tango tutorial.
