    <p>hey i have a user registration form in my django application which collects additional data while a user is trying to register such as address, city, country, phone number etc.</p> <p>This data is saved in the Account model class through <code>post_save</code> signal. The user creation process goes something like this :</p> <pre><code># Function to Create user Account/Profile def create_user_account(sender, instance, created, **kwargs): if created: models.Account.objects.create(user=instance) # Create User / User Registration def UserRegistration(request): if request.method == 'POST': username = request.POST['fn'].capitalize() + ' ' + request.POST['ln'].capitalize() # CREATE USER newuser = User.objects.create_user(username=username, email=request.POST['email'], password=request.POST['pw']) newuser.first_name = request.POST['fn'].capitalize() newuser.last_name = request.POST['ln'].capitalize() newuser.save() return HttpResponse(username) #Post Save handler to create user Account/Profile post_save.connect(create_user_account, sender=User) </code></pre> <p>Here the <code>UserRegistration</code> function is called when a user posts a form and under this function i can get the POST data, what i want is to pass that data to create_user_account method so that it fills in the fields in the Account model.</p> <p>Right Now i do see Account Objects created in the database but all the fields except the user field are empty. Obviously, because the POST variables are not being passed to the <code>create_user_account</code> method.</p>

    1. CO... but in your example you already store all the information on your user-model ('fn', 'ln') and therefore you should be able to access it via instance.first_name in your `create_user_account` function. Or what am i missing?

    2. COIf you want to use some data from POST, you should create `Account` inside the view. Signals is not designed for this.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
