You are assigning a form instance to your custom profile's user foreign key. That is not what you want. You want to assign the appropriate user instance to that foreign key field.

Re: More User/Profile troubles
Thanks for your help Brian, Im still quite confused. I think what Im
really not sure about is how to set the foreignkey manually as it
doesnt really talk about that in the documentation.
Here is what I have now, if extraformedit.user is a foreignkey, how do
i connect it to the form I just saved?-
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
extraform = CustomProfileForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
userformInstance = form.save
()#save the form with the user data
and create an instance i can hook my profile to
extraformedit = extraform.save(commit=False)
#save the profile form with commit=false so i can modify it
extraformedit.user = userformInstance
#!!i think this is where im going wrong? assigning the user the
profile is attached to
extraformedit.save
() #save the edited
form to the database.
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
Am I way off? Again I am very new to this so sorry if this is a stupid
question.

Yes. You need to set the user foreign key inside the extraform before
you save it. See the discussion here about ModelForms save() with
commit=False:

More User/Profile troubles
Hi all,
I have another newbie question. The user registration + profiles seems
to always be giving me a lot of trouble, I think Im nearly there but
Im sort of stuck at the moment and not sure how to proceed. I am
having trouble setting a user profile that is hooked up to the user
all in one page.
Ive set up a custom profile for my users, here is the model with a
form-
class CustomProfile(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, unique=True)
GENDER_CHOICES = (
('M', 'Male'),
('F', 'Female'),
)
gender = models.CharField(max_length=1, choices=GENDER_CHOICES)
birthday = models.DateField()
country = models.CharField(max_length=50)
class CustomProfileForm(ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = CustomProfile
fields = ('gender', 'birthday', 'country')
And here is my view for my signup page -
def signup(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
extraform = CustomProfileForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
form.save()
extraform.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/")
else:
form = UserCreationForm()
extraform = CustomProfileForm()
return render_to_response('signup.html', {
'form': form,
'extraform': extraform
})
This view doesnt work because it is not saving 'user' in
CustomProfileForm.
Ok now the problem I am having is with the foreignkey in the custom
profile model, and successfully linking that to the User. I imagine I
could do it easily with two web pages - I would make a
usercreationform on one page and then direct to a page to customise a
profile, but I am trying to do it all at once. I have to save 'form'
first, to be able to save 'extraform', but then I dont know how to set
the user setting in extraform to the one ive just created. All my
configurations seem to fail.
I hope I havent made this too confusing, am I on the right track at
least? Any help Would be great!
Phil
