I am trying to create a user with email as username and the email is first screened, i.e., the email is not registered then create a user. How can I pass or set the email in forms.py as it is already processed in the previous page?

Models.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractBaseUser

from django.db import models



class CUserManager(models.Manager):

    def _create_user(self, email, password, **extra_fields):



        now = timezone.now();



        if not email:

            raise ValueError(_('Email is required'))



        user = self.model(

            email = email,

            date_joined = now, **extra_fields

        )



        user.set_password(password)  

        user.save(using = self._db)



        return account



    def create_user(self, email, password=None, **extra_fields):

        return self._create_user(email, password, **extra_fields)



    def get_by_natural_key(self, email):

        return self.get(email=email)



    def create_superuser(self, email, password, **extra_fields):

        return self._create_user(email, password,**extra_fields)



class CUser(AbstractBaseUser):



    email = models.EmailField(_('email address'), unique=True)

    first_name = models.CharField(_('first name'), max_length=255)

    last_name = models.CharField(_('last name'), max_length=255)

    date_joined = models.DateTimeField(_('date created'), auto_now_add=True)

    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=True)    



    objects = CUserManager()



    USERNAME_FIELD = 'email'

...

Forms.py

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm



class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):



    class Meta: 

        model = CUser

        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'password1', 'password2')

in HTML

 <form action=""  method="post" role="form">

    {% csrf_token %}

  {{ form.as_p }}

  <input type="submit" value="Submit" />

</form>

The email comes from session['email'] which is saved in the previous page.

How can I pass this session['email'] to forms.py?

You can try like this:

 # Form



 class RegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):



    class Meta: 

        model = CUser

        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'password1', 'password2')



    def save(self, **kwargs):

       email = kwargs.pop('email')

       user = super(RegistrationForm, self).save(commit=False)

       user.set_password(self.cleaned_data['password1'])

       user.email = email

       user.save()

       return user



# View



# your form codes...



if form.is_valid():

    form.save(email=request.session.get('email'))

    # rest of the codes

What I am doing here is that, first I have override that save method to catch email value from keyword arguments. Then I am passing the email value to the ModelForm's save method. Hope it helps!!
