Django - After Register, Data Should Go To 2 Different Tables (Customer & User)

I am creating an e-commerce website where people can choose to login or not but still the can order and checkout (even if you are an AnonymousUser or Guest user). Now, I am making a login and register form in my website. The login form works and looks good but the register form wasn't working and throwing an error that said "RelatedObjectDoesNotExist at / User has no customer."
I think the reason is that when I register, it only makes a User in database but didn't register anything in the Customer table (which consists Name and Email). How can I register a Customer and User at the same time when I hit the "Submit" button? And how can I make that specific User have "Staff status" only and cannot make changes in the Admin site?
Also, I want to add new fields in the Register form for Name and Email that will go directly to the Customer table. I tried to do this one but it doesn't work and throwed and error that says "django.core.exceptions.FieldError: Unknown field(s) (name) specified for User".
Here's what I did:
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from .models import *
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
email = models.CharField(max_length=200)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'name', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']
SUMMARY:
I want to add extra fields in the Register form called Name and Email. Then after clicking the Register form, I want create User and Customer at the same time. But the User should only have "Staff status" and cannot make changes in the Admin site. And the Name and Email field should go to Customer Table with the User I've created.
Here's the screenshot of my Register form:
Here's my forms.py file:
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'password1', 'password2']
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(CustomUserCreationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields['username'].widget.attrs.update({'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Username'})
self.fields['password1'].widget.attrs.update({'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Enter Password'})
self.fields['password2'].widget.attrs.update({'class':'form-control','placeholder':'Confirm Password'})
Here's my views.py file:
def loginUser(request):
page = 'login'
if request.method == "POST":
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
user = authenticate(request, username=username, password=password)
print('USER:', user)
if user is not None:
login(request, user)
return redirect('/')
return render(request, 'store/login_register.html', {'page': page})
def logoutUser(request):
logout(request)
return redirect('/')
def registerUser(request):
page = 'register'
form = CustomUserCreationForm()
if request.method == "POST":
form = CustomUserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.save(commit=False)
user.save()
user = authenticate(request, username=user.username, password=request.POST['password1'])
if user is not None:
login(request, user)
return redirect('/')
context = {'form': form, 'page': page}
return render(request, 'store/login_register.html', context)
Here's my models.py file:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
# Create your models here.
class Customer(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=200, null=True)
email = models.CharField(max_length=200)
def __str__(self):
return self.name
Here's my register.html file:
<form class="form" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<h2> REGISTER </h2>
<h4> Create your account now! </h4>
<br />
{% for field in form %}
<div class="mb-3">
<label for="exampleInputPassword1" class="form-label">{{field.label}}:</label>
{{field}}
</div>
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
<br />
<p> Already have an account? Login here </p>
</form>

Why does this work?? Class Meta, model = User

Can someone please explain this?? I'm in the process of trying my first post-tutorial project.
I've made a model called Profile with 4 attributes (given_name, surname, bio, image). I've made a form called ProfileForm which inherits from UserCreationForm and i've added the 4 attributes of my model into the form as form attributes.
MY Question is:
Why does it only work like this
class Meta:
model = User
This is my models.py file
class Profile(models.Model):
given_name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
surname = models.CharField(max_length=255)
bio = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='uploads/', blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.given_name
class Meta:
ordering = ['given_name']
This is my forms.py file
class ProfileForm(UserCreationForm):
firstName = forms.CharField(max_length=255)
lastName = forms.CharField(max_length=255)
bio = forms.CharField(widget=forms.Textarea)
image = forms.ImageField()
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['firstName', 'lastName', 'username', 'password1', 'password2', 'bio', 'image']
This is my views.py file
def sign_up_view(request):
if request.method == "POST":
form = ProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
if form.is_valid():
user = form.save()
login(request, user)
profile = Profile.objects.create(
given_name=form.cleaned_data['firstName'],
surname = form.cleaned_data['lastName'],
bio = form.cleaned_data['bio'],
image = form.cleaned_data['image'])
return redirect('home')
else:
form = ProfileForm()
return render(request, 'core/sign_up.html', {"form": form})
This is my admin page for a profile.
This is my admin page for a User
Note : I'm able to achieve my desired outcome, but I'm having trouble in understanding how its working.
**Also if i wanted to link the Profile model with the User such that, if the User is deleted in admin then the respective profile would also get deleted??

It only works with model = User, because your fields, like username, etc. are fields of the User model, not of the Profile model.
What you can do is process the view with two forms. We thus make a form for the Profile model, and use the UserCreationForm for the User.
Furthermore the Profile needs to link to the user model, such that it is clear what Profile belongs to what user. We thus add a ForeignKey with:
from django.conf import settings
class Profile(models.Model):
# ⋮
user = models.OneToOneField(
settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
on_delete=models.CASCADE,
editable=False
)
# ⋮
then we can define a Profile form with:
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = '__all__'
then we can work with two forms, the view looks like:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
def sign_up_view(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
user_form = UserCreationForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST, request.FILES, prefix='profile')
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
user = form.save()
profile_form.instance.user = user
profile_form.save()
login(request, user)
return redirect('home')
else:
user_form = UserCreationForm()
profile_form = ProfileForm(prefix='profile')
context = {'user_form': user_form, 'profile_form': profile_form}
return render(request, 'core/sign_up.html', context)
and in the template render it with:
<form action="{% url 'name-of-the-signup-view' %}" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ user_form }}
{{ profile_form }}
</form>
we thus use two Django forms in the same HTML form, and prefix the ProfileForm with profile for the input fields.

(HELP) Django Model Form does not recognize Image file

I created a Form using one of my models i.e (Post), for my blog website. The form is meant for writers to post articles. In that form there is an Image attribute where the writer can upload an image. However, when i try to upload an image and post it, i get a feedback saying "field required", i think the form is not recognizing the image am trying to upload onto the the database. please help:
this is the form view from views.py:
def formview(request):
form = PostForm(request.POST or None)
if form.is_valid():
instance = form.save(commit=False)
instance.save()
return render(request, 'form.html', {'form':form})
this is from forms.py:
from django import forms
from .models import Post
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
image = forms.FileField
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ['category', 'title', 'body', 'image', 'author']
this from my models.py:
class Post(models.Model):
category = models.ForeignKey(Category)
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
pub_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
body = models.TextField()
image = models.FileField()
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
likes = models.IntegerField(default=1)
def __str__(self):
return self.title
this is my forms.html template:
<form method="POST" action="">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Post</button>
this is my urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import url
from . import views
app_name = 'posts'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.homeview, name='homeview'),
url(r'^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)$', views.postview, name='postview'),
url(r'^category/(?P<pk>[a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$', views.categoryview,
name='categoryview'),
url(r'^author/(?P<pk>[a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$', views.authorview, name='authorview'),
url(r'^add_post/$', views.formview, name='formview'),
]
these are the pics might help explain what am trying to say:
Filling the form and selecting the picture

Django extending user with userprofile (error: User has no profile.)

someone can told me, why this code don't working?
I'm trying to create a registration form for users.
I'm getting an error
"RelatedObjectDoesNotExist at /signup/client/2/ User has no profile."
views.py
if request.POST:
user_form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST)
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
user = user_form.save()
user.profile.city="WW"
user.profile.phone="32323"
user.profile.save()
forms.py
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email')
class ProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Profile
fields = ( 'city', 'phone')
html file
<h2>Sign up</h2>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ user_form.as_p }}
{{ profile_form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Sign up</button>
models.py
from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.db import models
from django.db.models.signals import post_save
from django.dispatch import receiver
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
city = models.TextField(max_length = 50)
phone = models.TextField(max_length = 12)

You need to create a profile, it does not get created when you save user_form
user_form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
profile_form = ProfileForm(request.POST)
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
user = user_form.save()
Profile.objects.create(**{
'city':"WW", 'phone': '32323', 'user': user
})
# ^^^^^^

You should add the following line to the script:
profile = Profile.objects.create(user=request.user)

I believe this code is referred from 'Django by Examples'. If so, Go to your application admin Site and add a profile manually under profile account and run the server again. This will solve the issue.

The best and easiest thing to do here while in the development is:
in the terminal create another superuser -$ python manage.py createsuperuser
login in the admin page with the new credentials
Delete the old admin or any user that may have been created before the userprofile
models were created

Django 1.9 check if email already exists

My site is set up so there is no username (or rather user.username = user.email). Django has an error message if a user tries to input a username that is already in the database, however since I'm not using a username for registration I can't figure out how to do this.
Just like the default settings already is, I don't want to reload the page to find out if there is an email address already associated with a user. My guess is to use Ajax, but I can't figure out how to do it. Ive looked at other posts, but there doesn't seem to be anything recent.
How can I check to see if an email address already exists, and if so, give an error message for the user to input a new email address?
models.py:
class MyUsers(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User)
first_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
last_name = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True)
email = models.EmailField(max_length=100, blank=True, unique=True)
company = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
website = models.URLField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return self.user.username
forms.py:
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('email',)
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'company', 'website', 'phone_number')
views.py:
def index(request):
registered = False
if request.method == 'POST':
user_form = UserForm(data=request.POST)
profile_form = UserProfileForm(data=request.POST)
if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
user = user_form.save()
user.set_password(user.password)
user.password = ""
user.username = user.email
user.save()
profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
profile.user = user
profile.email = user.email
profile.save()
user.first_name = profile.first_name
user.last_name = profile.last_name
user.save()
registered = True
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('registration'))
else:
print user_form.errors, profile_form.errors
else:
user_form = UserForm()
profile_form = UserProfileForm1()
context = {'user_form': user_form, 'profile_form': profile_form, 'registered': registered}
return render(request, 'mysite/register.html', context)
register.html:
{% extends 'mysite/base.html' %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block title_block %}
Register
{% endblock %}
{% block head_block %}
{% endblock %}
{% block body_block %}
<form id="user_form" method="post" action="/mysite/" enctype="multipart/form-data">

{{ profile_form.as_p }}
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Register" />
</form>
{% endblock %}

You can override the clean_<INSERT_FIELD_HERE>() method on the UserForm to check against this particular case. It'd look something like this:
forms.py:
class UserForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('email',)
def clean_email(self):
# Get the email
email = self.cleaned_data.get('email')
# Check to see if any users already exist with this email as a username.
try:
match = User.objects.get(email=email)
except User.DoesNotExist:
# Unable to find a user, this is fine
return email
# A user was found with this as a username, raise an error.
raise forms.ValidationError('This email address is already in use.')
class UserProfileForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = UserProfile
fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'company', 'website', 'phone_number')
You can read more about cleaning specific fields in a form in the Django documentation about forms.
That said, I think you should look into creating a custom user model instead of treating your User Profile class as a wrapper for User.
