Ok, so I have a user registration form based on AbstractUser that replaces the Django model in my settings.py, the model only adds a couple of fields I needed for info on the users, when I tested the registration form the user did not get created, I debugged and found that both last login and date joined where required so I set them as hidden inputs with value of
{% now "SHORT_DATE_FORMAT" %}
that solved the first two errors however there is a third error that says the field password is required, that is my form is asking me for, password, password1, and password2
I would really appreciatte your help!
This is my views.py
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserRegisterForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_user = form.save(commit=False)
new_user.is_active = True
new_user.save()
group = Group.objects.get(name='Usuario')
new_user.groups.add(group)
return HttpResponseRedirect('/')
else:
form = UserRegisterForm()
return render_to_response('register.html', locals(), RequestContext(request))
This is my model
class SiteUser(AbstractUser):
descripcion = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
direccion = models.CharField(max_length=255, blank=True, null=True)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='imagenes_usuarios', blank=True, null=True)
thumbnail = models.ImageField(upload_to='imagenes_usuarios/thumbs', blank=True, null=True)
slug = models.SlugField(default='', blank=True)
Forms.py
class UserRegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = SiteUser
def clean_username(self):
username = self.cleaned_data["username"]
try:
# Not sure why UserCreationForm doesn't do this in the first place,
# or at least test to see if _meta.model is there and if not use User...
self._meta.model._default_manager.get(username=username)
except self._meta.model.DoesNotExist:
return username
raise forms.ValidationError(self.error_messages['duplicate_username'])
And here is my template
<div class="content">
