I use django-registration app and Django 1.5. How to create (new in django) custom user model and save also this data during registration (Please note that I am using django-registration):

class CustomProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.ForeignKey(User)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    bank = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    address = models.CharField(max_length=255)

Django-registration 1.0 has been released recently. It was completely rewritten to use class based views and with Django 1.0 custom user model support. Check out the docs.

This link explains the process well and works with django-registration 1.0

here are a few extra pointers in addition to the above code.

To update the first name change this in the models.py

def user_registered_callback(sender, user, request, **kwargs):
profile = ExUserProfile(user = user)
profile.is_human = bool(request.POST["is_human"])
user.first_name = request.POST["firstname"]
user.save()
profile.save()

user_registered.connect(user_registered_callback)

and in the forms.py file

class ExRegistrationForm(RegistrationForm):
    is_human = forms.BooleanField(label = "Are you human?:")
    firstname = forms.CharField(max_length=30)
    lastname = forms.CharField(max_length=30)

finally to see the changes on the form create an appropriate template. The profile can be seen in the admin by creating a file called admin.py in your app and write the following code

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from prof.models import ExUserProfile

admin.site.unregister(User)

class UserProfileInline(admin.StackedInline):
    model = ExUserProfile

class UserProfileAdmin(UserAdmin):
    inlines = [ UserProfileInline, ]

admin.site.register(User, UserProfileAdmin)

django-registration's main fork is not compatible with django 1.5 for now.

Check this pull request.

You have three options:

  • Patch django-registration's code. You can get the changes needed from the pull request.
  • Use an unofficial fork that is already patched. This one for example.
  • Wait for an update on the main fork...
