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!
