Question

My Models.py, Here I’m using OneToOneField here, to extend StudentProfile.

from django.db import models 
from django.contrib.auth.models import User, UserManager


class SecretQuestion(models.Model):
    question = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.question


class StudentProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    batch = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    course = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    date_of_birth = models.DateField()
    secret_question = models.ForeignKey(SecretQuestion)
    answer = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    contact = models.CharField(max_length=20)

And my registration view, I’m creating new user main_user and I’m using it to create Student Profile :-

def register_page(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = RegistrationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            main_user = User.objects.create_user(
              username= form.cleaned_data['username'],
              password = form.cleaned_data['password1'],
             )
            user = StudentProfile.objects.create(               
                user_id = main_user.id,http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask
                batch=form.cleaned_data['batch'],
                course=form.cleaned_data['course'],
                date_of_birth=form.cleaned_data['date_of_birth'],
                secret_question=form.cleaned_data['secret_question'],
                answer=form.cleaned_data['answer'],
                contact=form.cleaned_data['contact']
              )
        return HttpResponseRedirect('/register/success/')
    else:
       form = RegistrationForm()

   variables = RequestContext(request, {'form': form})
   return render_to_response('registration/register.html',variables)

After registering in Django, I’m getting,

FieldError at /register/

Cannot resolve keyword 'username' into field. Choices are: answer, batch, contact, course, date_of_birth, id, secret_question, user

This is happening after filling registration fields and pressing register button.
I’m not able to interpret this error. What does this mean?

Answer 1

You need to subclass RegistrationForm as described in Adding extra fields to django-registration form

---

User.objects.create_user has no keyword argument named username. The username must be the first positional argument:

        main_user = User.objects.create_user(form.cleaned_data['username'],
          password = form.cleaned_data['password1'],
         )

In the future, please include at least the line number where the error occurred.
