Custom django user registration form - python

I am learning Django and I am trying to make my own custom registration forms. I currently ran into this error:
Unknown field(s) (user) specified for User
Here is the traceback:

I think the problem resides within this piece of code:
from django import forms
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
email = forms.EmailField(required = True)
# hold anything that isnt a form field (meta data)
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('user', 'email', 'password1', 'password2')
def save(self, commit = True):
# save(commit = T/F) means save or dont save yet
# calls the super method of this class (UserCreationForm) and calling it's save method with input as false
user = super(MyRegistrationForm, self).save(commit = False)
# cleaned_data makes things save to put in data base
user.email = self.cleaned_data['email']
if commit:
user.save()
return user

I think you mean field "username". Model User haven't field "user".
Right:
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ('username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2')

i have figured out each line of code but i am unable to catch what is exactly the error, please needful help is required.

Because your serializer has password2 but User model does not have.
Just pop password2 into validated_data
from rest_framework import serializers
from account.models import User
class UserRegistrationSerializers(serializers.ModelSerializer):
password2=serializers.CharField(style={'input_type':'password'}, write_only=True)
class Meta:
model = User
fields=['email','name','tc','password','password2']

'password':{'write_only':True}

password=attrs.get('password')
password2=attrs.pop('password2')
if password != password2:
raise serializer.ValidationError("Password and Confirm Password Does not match")
return attrs
def create(self, validate_data):
return User.objects.create_user(**validate_data)

I am using the User model (which is a custom one) in my models.py by import settings and getting it through the AUTH_USER_MODEL but it seems like in my views that the request.user is not recognize as an instance of the user class.
Here is the model

User = settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL
class Site(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(

User,

HERE is the logic in the views
def create_site(request):
user = request.user
print(user)
form = CreateSiteForm(
request.POST or None,

if form.is_valid():
form.save()

The request.user returns the username of the user. I am wondering what is the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance......

use this instead of the User in the models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
and change your views to this
user=request.user.id

I am attempting to restructure my database models to include more data than django.contrib.auth.models.User. However, making the changes to models.py and views.py, then running python manage.py makemigrations doesn't properly update my migrations. Apparently, Django still thinks I'm using a proxy model.
I had to change users/migrations/0001_initial.py to avoid a dependency error, then I ran python manage.py makemigrations and got No changes detected.

Any help is appreciated.

I don't think its a good idea to change in migrations files. You can do the changes in model directly, and after changing the model, run ./manage.py makemigrations to generate new migration files.
Also, you need to subclass the model class from models.Model:
class Profile(models.Model):
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
phone = models.CharField(max_length=30)
objects = managers.ProfileManager()
Update
(from comments) As your manager has been changed, I think you can proceed with either one of the following solutions:
Keep both ProfileManager and PersonManager in users.manager, then run makemigrations.
Update the migration file like this(remove managers attribute from dictionary):
# Generated by Django 2.2 on 2019-05-01 03:13
from django.db import migrations
import users.managers
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
initial = True
dependencies = [
('auth', '0011_update_proxy_permissions'),
]
operations = [
migrations.CreateModel(
name='Person',
fields=[
],
options={
'proxy': True,
'constraints': [],
'indexes': [],
},
bases=('auth.user',),
# managers=[
# ('objects', users.managers.PersonManager()),
# ],
),
]

I have the need of create an user account in my application using just the email and password fields. Due to this, my custom user model in my models.py is:
I customize the UserManager to create user
from django.contrib.auth.models import BaseUserManager
class UserManager(BaseUserManager):
def _create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
"""
Creates and saves a User with the given email and password.
"""
if not email:
raise ValueError("Users must have an email address")
email = self.normalize_email(email)
user = self.model(email = email, **extra_fields)
user.set_password(password)
user.save()
return user
def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):
extra_fields.setdefault('is_staff', True)
extra_fields.setdefault('is_superuser', True)
extra_fields.setdefault('is_active', True)
if extra_fields.get('is_staff') is not True:
raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_staff=True.')
if extra_fields.get('is_superuser') is not True:
raise ValueError('Superuser must have is_superuser=True.')
return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)
And my User model is:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser
from django.contrib.auth.models import PermissionsMixin
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
email = models.EmailField(unique=True, null=True,
help_text=_('Required. Letters, digits and ''#/./+/-/_ only.'),
validators=[RegexValidator(r'^[\w.#+-]+$', _('Enter a valid email address.'), 'invalid')
])
is_staff = models.BooleanField(
_('staff status'),
default=False,
help_text=_('Designates whether the user can log into this site.'),
)
is_active = models.BooleanField(
_('active'),
default=True,
help_text=_(
'Designates whether this user should be treated as active. '
'Unselect this instead of deleting accounts.'
),
)
objects = UserManager()
USERNAME_FIELD = "email"
class Meta:
db_table = 'auth_user'
verbose_name_plural = 'Usuarios en la plataforma'
def __str__(self):
return "#{}".format(self.email)
In my settings I've add:
AUTH_USER_MODEL = ‘my_app_name.User’
CREATE USERS - UserCreationForm pre-built class
To create an user, I am using of the UserCreationForm class pre-built in the django core.
In this class the username field is used such as denoted here
According to the above, in my forms.py I have:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserChangeForm, UserCreationForm
class CustomUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
class Meta(UserChangeForm.Meta):
model = get_user_model()
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
model = get_user_model()
class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
fields = ("email", "password1", "password2",)
model = get_user_model()
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields["email"].label = "Email address"
When I try execute the python manage.py makemigrations , I get this traceback output error

Of course, I am using UserCreationForm django class core, I am forcing to use the django core functionalities in which the username field is required
How to can I remove the username or modify this?
I know the modify the django core is not recommended, but, how to can I create an user without include the username field making use of UserCreationForm django class core?
I try override the save method of my form in where I create the users, but I don't have clear the process, I think that the core of my inconvenient is in the use of UserCreationForm django class core ..
class UserCreateForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
fields = ("email", "password1", "password2",)
model = get_user_model()
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
self.fields["email"].label = "Email address"
def save(self, commit=True):
user = super(UserCreateForm, self).save(commit=False)
user.email = self.cleaned_data["email"]
# Tell to Django that not check the username
if commit:
user.save()
return user
If somebody can point me in the right direction will be very much appreciated. :)

I've found a solution that works.
anyways, feel free to suggest better solutions!
Like my inconvenient/error was related with the use of the UserCreationForm class pre-built in the django core which use the username field in their logic, then I proceeded to make the following:
In my forms.py in my class CustomUserCreationForm is a child of the class UserCreationForm, I've override/add to Meta class the attribute fields, using the email field instead of username field.
This question post help me with it.
My class CustomUserCreationForm stay as follow:
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('email',)
Then, I proceeded to perform my migrations:
[1] % python manage.py makemigrations accounts
SystemCheckError: System check identified some issues:
ERRORS:
<class 'accounts.admin.UserAdmin'>: (admin.E033) The value of 'ordering[0]' refers to 'username', which is not an attribute of 'accounts.User'.
This error showed me that the username field is not an attribute of my User model.
This means that Django follows trying to ask the username field, even though I overwritten the fields value with the email field.
Of course this is logic because I am still inherit from UserCreationForm class pre-built in the django core
Then, I've add the username field to my User model with null=True attribute, and of this way, the username does not required in the user account creation:
class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):
# I had add the username field despite that I don't use in my User model
username = models.CharField(_('username'), max_length=30, null=True,
help_text=_('Required. 30 characters or fewer. Letters, digits and ''#/./+/-/_ only.'),
validators=[RegexValidator(r'^[\w.#+-]+$', _('Enter a valid username.'), 'invalid')
])
email = models.EmailField(unique=True, null=True,
help_text=_('Required. Letters, digits and ''#/./+/-/_ only.'),
validators=[RegexValidator(r'^[\w.#+-]+$', _('Enter a valid email address.'), 'invalid')
])
...
Of this way, I execute my migrations
bgarcial#elpug ‹ testing ●● › : ~/workspace/ihost_project
[1] % python manage.py makemigrations accounts
Migrations for 'accounts':
accounts/migrations/0001_initial.py:
- Create model User
(ihost)
bgarcial#elpug ‹ testing ●● › : ~/workspace/ihost_project
python manage.py migrate accounts ...
And my username field still persist in my custom user schema, just that is not required and when I created an user from my UserCreateForm class which inherit from UserCreationForm, I can create an user account with just email and password
I don`t know if this is the best approach to address this inconvenient.
Feel free to suggest improvements!

I'm trying to create a page for is_staff folks can create users. The code is below.
views.py
#login_required
def create_new_user(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = CreateUserForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('jobs:new-user'))
else:
form = CreateUserForm()
return render(request, 'jobs/create_user.html', {'form': form})
forms.py
from django import forms
from django.forms import ModelForm
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class CreateUserForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model: User
fields = ['username', 'password1', 'password2']
error output
This is the error I get when I try to access the account creation page.

Any ideas? As always, THANK YOU.

You need to set model equal to User like model = User
class CreateUserForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'password1', 'password2']
