django-registration and django-profile save together at once

for key, value in extra_context.items():
context[key] = callable(value) and value() or value
return render_to_response(template_name,{‘form’: form,’profileform’:profileform,,context_instance=context)
urls.py
———–
url(r’^accounts/register/$’,register, {‘form_class’: RegistrationForm, ‘profile_callback’:UserProfile.objects.profile_callback},name = ‘registration_register’),
here we are rendering form and profileform to generate fields on registration_form.htm

What does the following line do?
objects = ProfileManager()
Where is ProfileManager defined?
Praveen Kumar said
Hi Joseph,
Creates user profile while registering new user registration/urls.py
I just write the class for ProfileManager
class ProfileManager(models.Manager):
“”" Custom manager for the “Profile“ model. “”"
def profile_callback(self, user):
“”" Creates user profile while registering new user registration/urls.py “”"
new_profile = Profile.objects.create(user=user,)
Thanks

Praveen,
Thank you for clarifying and cleaning up the code.
I think this can be a useful and well-needed tutorial for many people.
I am still trying to understand some details:
When I try to submit my registration, the system just hangs. How can I
figure out why?
In views.py, I think the first else clause should correspond to the first if,
not the second? Otherwise form is not defined if there is no POST.
Do you mean UserProfile, not Profile, in ProfileManager?
Do you put ProfileManager in models.py?
This line needs an extra right curly bracket:
return render_to_response(template_name,{‘form’: form,’profileform’:profileform,,context_instance=context)
In urls.py, you need quotes around register.
Need to add
from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
to urls.py and views.py
In views.py, I would change utils.get_profile_form() to profiles.utils.get_profile_form() for clarity,
and import profiles.utils
In registration/registration_form.html, you will need to add:
{{ profileform.as_p }}
so that profile information is asked for when you register.

My server hangs on the following line: new_user = form.save()

Hi Joseph, Thanks for appreciation
Now come to your question
>> When I try to submit my registration, the system just hangs. How can I
figure out why?
I think there would be some thing wrong in your view.py.. that you have to debug line by line..
>> In views.py, I think the first else clause should correspond to the first if,
not the second? Otherwise form is not defined if there is no POST.
Here we are defining the form using POST only
>>Do you mean UserProfile, not Profile, in ProfileManager?
yeah i mean UserProfile, not Profile in ProfileManager
>>Do you put ProfileManager in models.py?
Yeah, That ProfileManager class inside models.py which is Custom manager for the “UserProfile“ model
>>This line needs an extra right curly bracket:
return render_to_response(template_name,{’form’: form,’profileform’:profileform,,context_instance=context)
yeah, thats was my typing mistake, sorry
>>In urls.py, you need quotes around register.
no, that is the function name (not string variable) which we define in views.py which is responsible to register new user
>>Need to add
from registration.forms import RegistrationForm
to urls.py and views.py
Yeah, other wise we will get an module error
>>In views.py, I would change utils.get_profile_form() to profiles.utils.get_profile_form() for clarity,
and import profiles.utils
In registration/registration_form.html, you will need to add:
{{ profileform.as_p }}
so that profile information is asked for when you register.
thanks for writing the remain code for other’s for more clarification.
