I am following a tutorial by Telusko. He switched to PostgreSQL but I decided to continue with SQLite. He showed this code to add a user to the database:
def register(request):
if request.method == "POST":
firstname= request.POST['firstname']
lastname= request.POST['lastname']
email= request.POST['email']
phone= request.POST['phone']
username= request.POST['username']
password1= request.POST['password1']
password2= request.POST['password2']
dob= request.POST['dob']
gender= request.POST['gender']
user = User.objects.create_user(username=username, email=email, phone=phone, password=password1, dob=dob, gender=gender, firstname=firstname, lastname=lastname,)
user.save();
print('user created')
return redirect("/")
else:
return render(request, 'register.html') ;
But I get this error when I submit :

I wanted I could enter information into my HTML form (which is configured properly) and it's sent to database using POST method, adding a new user. My database db.sqlite3 is opened automatically when I run server.
I have a table login_user
which already has 2 users I added through the admin panel.
CodePudding user response:
You must be using django's default ModelManager
, which doesn't have the create_user method. You need to inherit from AbstractBaseUser
class instead of models.Model in your User
model and add objects = UserManager()
to your model, like below:
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser, UserManager
class User(AbstractBaseUser):
...
objects = UserManager()
