Re: UserChangeForm not working
Hi Karen, I did finally get this figured out, but decided not to implement the functionality after all :) Thanks, Brandon On Dec 5, 7:47 am, "Karen Tracey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 5, 2008 at 3:18 AM, Brandon Taylor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > I want to allow users to change their username in a non-admin form.

UserChangeForm not working
Hi everyone, I want to allow users to change their username in a non-admin form. I have a login form already working, and I can successfully show user information. I have granted the change user permission to the user that is logged in. When I pull in the UserChangeForm from contrib.auth.forms and hand it a user instance, the username field is populated correctly. So, I have a simple view action (pseudo code): if request.method == 'POST': form = UserChangeForm(data=request.POST) if form.is_valid(): form.save() but I can never get the form to validate. I can get it to fail correctly, but even if I put in a value that I know isn't currently in use, the form will still not validate. I tried making a custom form to update the username property and do the same validation, just in my own form instance, but that didn't work either. The new username property wasn't saving to the database. Does anyone have any experience with this form from auth? Any help appreciated!
