Using Django Forms & APIs
1

Hey Pros, I am doing the authentication of the users on my website but I have an issue with the form that doesn’t take in users. Please help me Maybe I forgot something I am not that much experienced, thanks
here is the form:

    password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={
        'class': 'form-control',
        'placeholder': 'Enter your password',}))
    confirm_password = forms.CharField(widget=forms.PasswordInput(attrs={
        'class': 'form-control',
        'placeholder': 'Confirm password',}))
    class Meta:
        model = Account
        fields = ('first_name','last_name','phone_number', 'email', 'password')
    
    def clean(self):
        cleaned_data = super(RegistrationForm, self).clean()
        password = cleaned_data.get('password')
        confirm_password = cleaned_data.get('confirm_password')

        if password != confirm_password:
            raise forms.ValidationError(
                'Passwords do not match'
            )

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super (RegistrationForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['first_name'].widget.attrs['placeholder'] = 'Enter your first name'
        self.fields['last_name'].widget.attrs['placeholder'] = 'Enter your last name'
        self.fields['phone_number'].widget.attrs['placeholder'] = 'Enter your phone number'
        self.fields['email'].widget.attrs['placeholder'] = 'Enter your email address'
        for field in self.fields:
            self.fields[field].widget.attrs['class'] = 'form-control'```


model is here

```class MyAccountManager(BaseUserManager):
    def create_user(self, first_name, last_name,username, email, password=None):
        if not email:
            raise ValueError('User must have an email address')
        
        if not username:
            raise ValueError('User must have a username')
        
        user = self.model(
            email= self.normalize_email(email),
            username = username,
            first_name = first_name,
            last_name = last_name,
        )
        user.set_password(password)
        user.save(using=self._db)
        return user
    def create_superuser(self, first_name, last_name,username, email, password):
        user =self.create_user( #calling for create user method
            email=self.normalize_email(email),
            username=username,
            password=password,
            first_name=first_name,
            last_name=last_name,
        )
        user.is_admin = True
        user.is_active = True
        user.is_staff = True
        user.is_superadmin = True
        user.save(using= self._db)
        return user 


class Account(AbstractBaseUser):
    first_name = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
    last_name  = models.CharField(max_length = 50)
    username  = models.CharField(max_length = 50, unique=True)
    email  = models.CharField(max_length = 100, unique =  True)
    phone_number  = models.CharField(max_length = 50, unique =  True)

    #required 
    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add= True)
    last_login = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add= True)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_staff = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    is_superadmin = models.BooleanField(default=False)
    
    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'
    REQUIRED_FIELDS= ['username', 'first_name', 'last_name']

    objects = MyAccountManager()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.email

    def has_perm(self, perm, obj=None):
        return self.is_admin

    def has_module_perms(self, add_label):
        return True```



then in the template


```<div class="card mx-auto" style="max-width:520px; margin-top:40px;">
      <article class="card-body">
		<header class="mb-4"><h4 class="card-title">Sign up</h4></header>
		<form action="{% url 'register' %}">
            {% csrf_token %}

				<div class="form-row">
					<div class="col form-group">

					  	{{ form.first_name }}
					</div> <!-- form-group end.// -->

					<div class="form-group col-md-6">

					    {{ form.confirm_password }}
					</div> <!-- form-group end.// -->  
				</div>
			    <div class="form-group">
			        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block"> Register  </button>
			    </div> <!-- form-group// -->    
                
                {{ form.errors }}
			        
			</form>
		</article><!-- card-body.// -->
    </div> <!-- card .// -->
    <p class="text-center mt-4">Have an account? <a href="">Log In</a></p>
    <br><be>```



in the view



```def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            first_name = form.cleaned_data['first_name']
            last_name = form.cleaned_data['last_name']
            phone_number = form.cleaned_data['phone_number']
            email = form.cleaned_data['email']
            password = form.cleaned_data['password']
            username = email.split("@")[0]

            user = Account.objects.create_user(first_name=first_name, last_name=last_name, email=email, username=username, password=password)
                                                 
    
            user.phone_number = phone_number
            user.save()
    else:
        print("something went wrong")
        form = RegistrationForm()

    context = {
        'form': form,
    }
    return render(request, 'accounts/register.html', context)```

First, when posting blocks of code here, surround the code between lines of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code then another line of ```. This forces the forum software to keep your code properly formatted, which is critical with Python.
(Note, you don’t need to repost your code - you can edit your original post to put the lines of ``` before and after each file’s worth of code. The ``` must be on lines by themselves.)

Second, please provide more details about what’s not working. Are you getting any error messages on the console where you’re running runserver? Otherwise, what specifically do you see or not see happening?

have edited the code thanks for the correction.
There is no error whatsoever only that it don’t take in the user, I can see all information in the path but can’t be posted or saved in the database

The problem is here:

You don’t have the method="POST" attribute on your form.

You are the superman thy answers accurate, thanks soooo much,
Would like to add also that I had to remove user.save() after adding phone_number in the MyAccountManager

            email= self.normalize_email(email),
            phone_number =phone_number,
            username = username,
            first_name = first_name,
            last_name = last_name,
        )```
then removed also user.phone_number

Note: You’re doing a lot of unnecessary work here. You can get rid of a lot of this by creating and using a model form. See Creating forms from models | Django documentation | Django

Side note - the three backticks must be lines by themselves. They must not be on the same line as other text.

okay thanks, I am considering this new approach
