    copied!<p>I'm trying to set a sign up page for a project. I created a custom user class adding few optional fields: I'm using <code>Django 1.5</code> and <code>Python 2.7</code></p> <pre><code>class CustomUser(models.Model): middleschool = 'MS' highschool = 'HS' university = 'U' blank = '-' male = 'M' female = 'F' school_choices = ((middleschool, 'Middle School'), (highschool, 'High school'), (university, 'University'), (blank, 'Not defined'),) sex = ((male, 'Male'), (female, 'Female'), (blank, 'Not defined'),) user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True) school = models.CharField(max_length = 30, choices = school_choices, default = blank, blank=True, null=True) birthdate = models.DateField(blank=True, null=True) sex = models.CharField(max_length = 1, choices = sex, default = blank, blank=True, null=True) city = models.CharField(max_length = 30, blank=True, null=True) payment_info = models.BigIntegerField(max_length = 30, blank=True, null=True) rating = models.DecimalField(max_digits=2, decimal_places=0, default = 0) premiumstatus = models.BooleanField(default = False, blank=False, null=False) </code></pre> <p>and added a <code>create_user</code> method as found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14857719/django-user-creation-with-custom-user-model-results-in-internal-error" title="here">here</a>. This is the model's method:</p> <pre><code>def create_user(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: CustomUser.objects.create(user=instance) post_save.connect(create_user, sender=User) </code></pre> <p>this is the relative view:</p> <pre><code>def registration(request): if request.method == 'POST': form = Registration(request.POST) if form.is_valid(): cd =form.cleaned_data fuser = cd['username'] fpassword = cd['password'] femail = cd['email'] fname = cd['name'] fsurname = cd['surname'] fschool = cd['school'] fbday = cd['birthdate'] fsex = cd['sex'] fcity = cd['city'] user = User.objects.create_user(fuser, fpassword, femail) user.is_active = True user.save() return HttpResponseRedirect("/home/") else: form = Registration() return render(request, "registration.html", {'form': form}) </code></pre> <p>and the relative form:</p> <pre><code>class Registration(forms.Form): middleschool = 'MS' highschool = 'HS' university = 'U' blank = '-' male = 'M' female = 'F' school_choices = ((middleschool, 'Middle School'), (highschool, 'High school'), (university, 'University'), (blank, 'Not defined'),) sex = ((male, 'Male'), (female, 'Female'), (blank, 'Not defined'),) username = forms.CharField(label = 'Username') password = forms.CharField(label = 'Password', widget=forms.PasswordInput) repassword = forms.CharField(label = ' Reinstert password', widget=forms.PasswordInput) email = forms.EmailField() name = forms.CharField(label = 'Name', required=False) surname = forms.CharField(label = 'Surname', required=False) school = forms.ChoiceField(choices = school_choices, required=False, label='What school are you enrolled?') birthdate = forms.DateField(label = 'Birth date', required=False) sex = forms.ChoiceField(choices = sex, required=False, label='Sex') city = forms.CharField(label = 'City', required=False) def clean_repassword(self): repassword = self.cleaned_data['repassword'] password = self.cleaned_data['password'] if repassword != password: raise forms.ValidationError("Verification password different from original password!") widgets = { 'password': forms.PasswordInput(), } </code></pre> <p>Now, the problem are basically two: I'm still a beginner so I dont' really understand how <code>create_user</code> works, I tried to pass <code>fname</code> and <code>fsurname</code> as an argument of said method but it wont work, it tells me that only four arguments are accepted. Second, if i try to add any optionl info with the command showed in the link:</p> <pre><code>user.get_profil().sex = fsex </code></pre> <p>it dosen't raise any error but doesn't work either.</p>
