django-allauth - Overriding default signup form

softzer0 picture softzer0 · Apr 8, 2016 · Viewed 11.4k times · Source

I'm using this code (in forms.py) for my custom signup form for allauth:

class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
    birth_date = forms.DateField(widget=extras.SelectDateWidget(years=BIRTH_DATE_YEARS))

    class Meta:
        model = get_user_model()
        fields = ('username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2', 'first_name', 'last_name', 'gender', 'birth_date', 'city', 'country')

I have of course specified ACCOUNT_SIGNUP_FORM_CLASS in settings.py to point to this form and it displays the fields which I've put in it. However, it does not work on submission, even if I put signup method it never gets invoked. I've tried with the save but still it's the same - it raises an error that one of my custom added fields is blank while creating user and saving it to the database. So, what's the correct code for achieving this?

I've made it thanks to @rakwen who has found the correct solution here. I wrote my custom adapter and put it in adapters.py in my app:

from allauth.account.adapter import DefaultAccountAdapter

class AccountAdapter(DefaultAccountAdapter):
    def save_user(self, request, user, form, commit=False):
        data = form.cleaned_data
        user.username = data['username']
        user.email = data['email']
        user.first_name = data['first_name']
        user.last_name = data['last_name']
        user.gender = data['gender']
        user.birth_date = data['birth_date']
        user.city = data['city']
        user.country = data['country']
        if 'password1' in data:
            user.set_password(data['password1'])
        else:
            user.set_unusable_password()
        self.populate_username(request, user)
        if commit:
            user.save()
        return user

Then I've specified ACCOUNT_ADAPTER in settings.py to point to that adapter, and it finally started to work!
